At the downtown intersection of Homer and Robson Streets you enter Library Square which is dominated by this handsome convex building that resembles the Coliseum in Rome. This is the central branch of the Vancouver Public Library. Walk inside to be delighted by a glass roof concourse which leads to its 1.3 million books. The sign in front that reads, “The Words Don’t Fit the Picture,” is by artist Ron Terada and was sponsored by the Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program in 2010. It contains nearly 1,300 LED lights.
