Employees of the Michigan City Public Library are mourning the death of the world-renowned German-American architect Helmut Jahn, who died at the age of 81 in a bicycle crash in Illinois over the weekend. We are saddened here by the tragic news of the passing of Helmut Jahn. Our hearts go out to Mr. Jahn s family and friends, Michigan City Public Library Director Don Glossinger said. We are left with a piece of his genius. The Michigan City Public Library building is not only high functioning as a library but also it is a work of art that will stand and be appreciated for generations to come.
