Do you have a favorite library? If so, what is it?

This is the most difficult question of all as I see so many wonderful libraries. But no matter how beautiful the buildings and how well appointed the reading areas are, I think what makes a lasting impression is always the people working there, the visions and the hard work of making straining budgets go that little extra to provide a service which unobtrusively supports the quality of the entire institution.
