a library near my home converted into digital reading room

@mysteryespresso that is just not the same is it... we must keep libraries
@Justme264 it isn't BUT change is the rule of nature

I myself used to spend hours in library, browsing through different book sections is very different from what you feel while looking for a book on a software.

Sometimes library books would have a handwritten note or a card from someone dated30 years back. old stamp dates, old books smell different. Can't emulate any of that on an iPad or a pc in public library

Maybe next generation would only see library in history books

@mysteryespresso that would be a tragedy but you are correct.. "plus ca change"

@mysteryespresso I used to actually read in the library, it was cosy.
