Gotta mention my former employer, Linda Hall Library in Kansas City, MO.
It's a privately-funded library open to the public and focusing on science, engineering and technology.
The rare books collection is spectacular... if you can go in during the week, and give them a day or two notice, the folks in the rare books area will be happy to show you some of the neat stuff in the collection.
The library underwent a major renovation/building project a couple years ago.
In addition to the library, the grounds are maintained as a very nice urban arboretum.

Appearing on Fox News Channel's "On the Record" last night, Palin told
Greta Van Susteren, "If there is an open door in 2012 or four years later,
and if it is something that is going to be good for my family, for my
state, for my nation, an opportunity for me, then I'll plow through that
door."
Submission + - Cell Phone for the Blind? 1
brigc writes: "Here's one that's got me stumped. A friend of mine, who's blind, has asked me for help in tracking down a cell phone for him.
He's interested in a flip phone with well-defined separations between the keys, and as much voice control as is possible... dialing, etc. Battery life is the only other thing he mentioned.
Preferably something that would work on ATT's network in the US.
We spent a piece of the afternoon in a local ATT store checking out all the flip phones they had and didn't find one he really loved.
Anyone have any ideas? ...brig"
