    About time!
    It’s about time that libraries are trying new and different things to attract people to the library. By modernising this way, libraries appeal and become more relevant to people. More libraries should follow this path in giving libraries a new and better image of an exciting place, not a place of where only old people go.

    Heck, I’ve suggested all sorts of ways to increase usage and make the library more friendly. Selling beer, install a stripper pole in the reading room, all sorts of plans.
