In case there were any doubts.
Stark, institutional, and maybe we would say ugly, but functional. You can, in fact, find, read, and check out books here.
It is certainly easier to identify from the road than some other buildings, and there is something to be said for that.
There is also a 2816 x 2112 version of the picture.

How can I get a copy of this picture? When I grab the properties, it doesn’t bring up the photo in another frame?
Is it copyrighted?
Thanks

Hi, Julia. Yes, it is copyrighted, but as stated it’s free for use under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.
I’m not sure what you mean by grabbing properties, but you can click on the image which will bring up a full-size version, and then on that (or any picture that appears in your browser), you should be able to right-click and select “Save image as” to get the photo to your hard drive.
