Would you like this to be your public library?

I found an interesting post at digg.com on library architecture and how two libraries, one in Cardiff Wales and the other in Kansas City, Missouri, are marketing themselves. Follow this link to see pictures and an article on these two libraries Can you spot the public library

I found these architectural displays to be quite jarring and I could definitely see it as a positive way to market library services. I’m curious to see if Cardiff decides to include this as a permanent architectural detail or once the new building is built whether they abandon it. I would also be curious if other libraries decide to use this in the future as a marketing tool. Would you like to see the Vancouver Public Library use something similiar? or your own public library?
