Description
The Iowa State Law Library is located on the second floor of the capitol building in Des Moines. The physical facility dates from 1886 but the library itself, as defined by the collection of books, was begun nearly 50 years earlier. I found the space both grand and intimate; it consists of a single long great hall with a number of alcoves like this one jutting out to either side, a layout which offers the user both accessibility and privacy.
