Officials of the city of McAllen, Texas, faced with the problem of the closure of the local large supermarket. However, instead of letting a hefty room empty, they have done something amazing. People have turned it into the largest one-story public library of America.

Now that the library of my dreams.

Now in the public library are 16 meeting rooms, 14 rooms for training, 64 computer laboratories, 10 children's computer labs, as well as 2 genealogical lab.


Of course, there can also find a conference hall, bookstore and self-checkout.


Even lawn looks great. This must be the most amazing public library in the world!
