The building's Streamline Moderne stylistic details include a flat roof, a curved northeast corner, a smooth stucco exterior, a strong horizontal emphasis with banded surfaces and windows, and a considerable use of glass blocks. Nowadays it's where you go if you need a braille or audio book as it has been since 1983.
