Main Library, Civic Center, San Francisco

San Francisco's new Main Library opened in 1996. It is built around this atrium, which fills all six floors of the library with natural daylight. 

This new building was necessitated by damage to the old Main Library in the earthquake of 1989. After it opened, the older building was retrofitted for safety and has reopened as the Asian Art Museum.  The two now stand side by side on the south side of Civic Center Plaza.

As the plot thickens in Dark Video, I have Nicole Tang Noonan, art historian and amateur sleuth, stop here for some research and then meet an informant in the library's cafe, which is tucked away in the basement. 

While she's in the neighborhood, Nicole also stops in at the museum. I'm about one-third of the way through the first draft.
