I came across this article at The Guardian recently and found it thoroughly delightful. It offers some thoughts and anecdotes about libraries, as their funding comes under attack in Britain as it has in the United States.

I recently read a fascinating article: "Is It Time To Rebuild & Retool Public Libraries And Make 'TechShops?'"
