We ❤️ our John Adams Building owls, so here’s a closer look at them in honor of Superb Owl Sunday. 🦉 The Adams opened its doors to the public 86 years ago, on January 3, 1939. The space contains beautiful examples of Art Deco’s streamlined classicism and decorative cubism. And it’s not just beautiful, it’s utilitarian! The building contains 180 miles of shelving and can hold 10 million volumes. When it opened, the Library’s shelving capacity tripled to 15 million volumes. #SuperbOwl #SuperbOwlS
