The Denver Central Library is the flagship building of the Denver Public Library System. It is located within Downtown Denver's Golden Triangle neighborhood and sits on the south side of Colorado's 16th Street Mall, adjacent to the Denver Art Museum. The postmodern building was designed by architect Michael Graves. Commissioned in 1990 and completed in 1995, it is one of the largest libraries in the United States and receives more than one million visitors each year.[1] It was the venue of the 23rd G8 Summit in 1997.
