5 Stars man. I go to this library to study at least three times a week and I never noticed some of the things you mentioned here (the six story bookcases for example).
The part that seriously frustrates me is when you are on one floor and you find that the stairway or elevator that you're on doesn't connect with the floor you need to get to. The place is really more like two or three buildings beside each other that connect in a few places. Not the way elevators or stairways are set up in most buildings. I haven't technically been "lost" in Hatcher before, but I've often headed down an elevator or stairway and had to turn back and find another way.
That makes sense. I've seen similar systems in other libraries. The part that really worries me is those glass floor panels in some areas. I can already sense that the library was built for people of average heights from maybe the 1900s or 1930s. (I sense this directly with forehead versus doorway.) If the floors were built to support the kind of average weights of Michiganders in the 1900s or 30s, then I'm a crashing News of the Weird story waiting to happen.
I love this video. Very interesting place. You and Melinda are two of the coolest people that I know on UA-cam. You two together reminds me of my husband and me. I really enjoy it when the two of you interact!
The bookcases really 'were' built to be several stories high with only platforms for walking... this makes climate control easier in a stack environment. Books hate changes in temperature and humidity. The more you know. Great video!
This video is so awesome! But what about the cages in the dungeon (I mean, basement)? And I seem to recall telephones to call for help if you got hopelessly stuck.
Fun video...I worked at the library for four years and I think I finally mastered the floor plan
Great video! Thanks for making this. I was always amazed when I went to the stacks.
Yeah, this library is truly batshit insane.. Currently studying in it. lol

I have got to explore this library.
I'm "studying" on the 6th floor right now!

Too funny!
Is this an SCP?
Super Chill Profile of the library? Yes.
What was that shouting at the end all about?
