With the holidays approaching and families arriving from out of town, it’s not always easy to find a little peace and quiet. It’s also increasingly difficult to find the kind of place that often provided that quiet: a good, old-fashioned library.
It’s not that libraries are going away. They’re just changing dramatically.
Walk into the Bexar County digital library in San Antonio, Texas, and you’ll see plenty of screens — but zero books. It doesn’t look like a library, and that’s the point.
BiblioTech, the only public bookless library in America, is the brainchild of Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff.
