Education Article: San Antonio’s Launching the First Completely Bookless Public Library

The Education Article: "San Antonio’s Launching the First Completely Bookless Public Library" examines a possible trend for both education and the government.

As the article states: "The new book-free library, called "BiblioTech," is intended to open in the fall and is part of a an entire bookless public library system planned for the entire county of Bexar. And it's not "bring your own device" either. The library will actually lend out e-readers (of an unspecified brand) for two weeks at a time. There will also be computers and the like, but no books, and presumably no card catalog (!) either."

Libraries are going to adapt and change - the question is how. This is one possibility. What do you think?
