Government Circle has a library, too, but it's the middle circle not the 
easternmost circle.  Young Circle with the amphitheater in it (I 
attended many of my sister's dance recitals there) is the eastern most 
circle.  And the western most circle has a really interesting all-glass 
office building with lighting that makes it look almost invisible at 
night (though I can't remember the name of the circle).  Having lived 
there for the first half of my life I don't think I paid any attention 
to the fact that they were circles for traffic.  I just rode/drove 
through them as if they were a city planner's bit of fun design.
