Earlier this month, a Tampa newspaper quoted a local County Commissioner’s view that “libraries [are] a place to convey knowledge, to learn things” and “ought to be used for research, not for entertainment.”
It made me wonder how embedded the dichotomy between learning and fun remains in the public conciousness and to what degree patrons support public libraries becoming vibrant multi-modal community centers.
Are we ready for libraries like the ones furnished by Lammhults Library Design?
