The rendering on the web site looks much better because they have hidden 
the building with trees. I drive past the library every day, and it is one 
of the ugliest buildings I have seen. "daring" is OK, and "fun" is cool. 
But it is neither of these to make a building the shape and color of a 
cowpie.

OTOH, I hear the interior is very nice. I look forward to visiting. And 
ugly buildings can be much-beloved by the community.
