I've never had to make use of the Library itself, though it looks impressive.

I've been here a couple of times for its photography exhibits. They regularly host shows of photojournalism, and these are always both gripping and well-attended.

The space works for this, as they have exhibition rooms that are like a small museum. It can get packed depending on the crowds, though.

The fact that they gravitate towards press photography seems to match with the documentary nature of the Library, I think.
