A LIBRARY FOR ALL When Seattle voters
approved the ‘Libraries for All’ bond measure in 1998, $290.7 million was allocated towards reinvigorating the Public Library (SPL) system, resulting in the replacement and renovation of 22 existing libraries and the construction of a new downtown flagship – Seattle Central Library.1 With this came the opportunity for not only the revitalisation of the library system but also the revitalisation of architecture in Seattle as a whole.
