What other street could a library be on?

I love libraries. My family goes at least once a week, and we even stop at libraries when we’re on vacation or out of town.
Madison, Wisconsin and the surrounding area is blessed with a lot of great libraries — each with its own look, feel and charm. Because there’s not a library really close to my house, I visit several different ones depending on what part of town I’m in and what type of experience I’m in the mood for.
Having said that, the library I’ve been spending most of my time at is the Verona Public Library. It’s a lovely, newer library with a design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. The staff is friendly, they have a great picture book selection — especially nonfiction — and there are beautiful, sunny areas to read. There’s even a castle inside with nooks and crannies for kids to curl up in.
But all those charms are overshadowed by my favorite thing about this library. This is the street it’s on:

I mean, how perfect is that? Where else would a library be?
Do you have a good name for a library street? Leave a comment.
Sush Street.
Wow Pat, thank you so much! The best part of working at the Verona has always been our patrons!
Do they have a larger castle for adult-sized inner children? If so, time for a road trip!
Well, I don’t think I can beat the name. It’s a good one. Especially given the Frank Lloyd Wright Building and the atmosphere as you describe it. But just for fun, here are some other names:
Awesome Alley
Awakening Avenue
Book Boulevard
Daydream Drive
Discovery Drive
Dreamaway Alley
Imagination Way
Learning Lane
Letters Lane
Light Lane
Reading Road
Revelation Road
Search Street
Secrets Street
See Street
Somewhere Street
Star Street
Start Street
Surprise Street
Sweet Street
Winding Way
Window Way
Word Way
Your Way
Wow! I’d vote for Reading Road! Or maybe it could be located on the information superhighway.
