They sunk the library an additional floor to accommodate for future volumes going into it for the next 100 years or so. I also have a reference card with my name on it in the Library I'll be getting shots soon as I arrange to get a time to take pictures in there.
How do you sink a library? Wouldn't it be swallowed up by the earth if it sunk? How long has there been quick sand in Ottawa? Why is this reminding me of "The Planet of the Apes"?
J'aime beaucoup le style Victorien dans les vieux édifices. J'imagine que si j'irais en France, j'aurais un temp de fou avec l'architecture de l'ère de Napoléon.
