You can not miss this building as you circle aroun...

You can not miss this building as you circle around the winding road leading to it - it stands proudly on the hill apart from other campus structures. As a fan of architecture, I was quite taken by it's unique qualities - shape, lines, a mirrored boxed entry with climbing vines and tranquil well manicured garden area bordered by mosaic snake. It was quite magical, and a perfect tribute to Dr Seuss.

Unfortunately because of COVID, the library was not open to students or public - I did see some staff inside, but only drop boxes for returns were being used. I would have enjoyed seeing the inside, examining the collections and art sculptures and experiencing views of city from all directions.

Perhaps on my next visit to La Jolla, the library will be open and we will venture to all parts of the building. A MUST SEE for fans of unique architecture. Be sure to stop by the statue of Dr Seuss with Cat In The Hat (and read the plaque).
