I took a [similar photo](https://i.imgur.com/DDdnr6s.jpg) from the other side when I was there in 2014. Super cool building. At first they were extremely hesitant about letting me bring a camera inside, but in the end they let it slide because I was just a tourist and not a journalist.

This is awesome, striking architecture and every book is accessible. People really knew how to design a space back in the day.
