Seattle Times photos by John Lok. The article featured a portrait of architect Ray Johnston. Article discussed the results of the $196.6 million "Libraries for All" Bond Issue passed in 1998 that funded the expansion of the Seattle Public Library System. "Sybil de Haan, Ballard's branch manager from 1990 until earlier this year [2008], has held on to some 2001 meeting notes from the Ballard Library Project Advisory Committee. Thirty bulleted items outline the neighbrohood's spec for its branch: Use environmentally conscious materials. Create a building that 'claims its own turf.' Design a building that reflects Ballard's maritime heritage. Provide lots of fresh air, ventilation and natural light." (p. A12)
