These services cost money and take space. Modern libraries often provide maker spaces, computer labs, community meeting rooms, and more. Libraries are not just about the books anymore. Why can’t we do both? Libraries today are asked to provide more and more services. Because of the vital services this library provides to its community, this new library has been hailed as a success story. A library in Texas opened a bookless branch in a low income area, providing vital digital services to a community where, historically, wi-fi access has been limited. A library in Arizona went bookless for a while, but due to pubic outcry the library brought back the printed books. A few municipal libraries in the United States have tried out the bookless model. Many university libraries throughout the world have gone bookless more than a decade ago, relying solely on ebooks and digital resources. The series plays on the theme of technology clashing with the analog world.īookless libraries indeed exist.
