Audio Walking Tour
The Library has also assembled a downloadable audio tour. The tour is in MP3 format and can be used with any portable digital audio player, including the iPod.
To use the tour, download the MP3 files (linked below individually) to your computer and copy them to your MP3 player.
To begin the walking tour, start at the main entrance on the first floor of the library. The audio will describe features of the building and the location of library offices and services as you are guided through the building by the narrator. It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete the walking tour.
No MP3 player? No Problem! Just come by the Public Service Desk on the third floor to borrow ours and take the tour.
If you'd like a written version of the tour, here is an Adobe PDF transcript in English or Korean.
