QNL ll be the World's Most advanced Library

awww...that's too bad frez. i like libraries that give you something to read everywhere. i've seen and read really good poems carved into some library desks.

and yeah, i like the smell of real books too. both old and new. i have only recently learned to read ebooks on my tablet or phone but i can never read one on my laptop.

“It will be the most advanced library in the world."

Says who?

Yeah like muppets .. Lol!

A very funny QL community. Love it. :)

wirehead , sorry my toilet is clean as a dining room.

You know what guys, i never use internet while im at college, like present generation, me and my friends gathered knowledge from books. I still remember that we use to keep a book in weekly wise,one after one.

I still like to catch the book by my hands, you might think i am silly when i say "I like their smell", and i never read a book using the internet ,, there are many do, as people have different tastes.

Waiting for the results :)

Well, first of all you need people who read books.

I'm basically with Brit on this. Building a fancy library won't do much to encourage library patronage among adults UNLESS a reading/literary culture has been taught to them as kids.

For too many people in this country, its too late to expect them to pick up a book and start reading now, after spending their lives never having realized that its possible to read recreationally.

We dont need an advanced library, a library rich in collection of books is more than sufficient.

The sad thing is that people assume that technology is the answer to everything..

This is not always the case..

frez, is your library's toilet door vandalized by users who write on it and use it like a chatroom or forum too? if it is, i would come ;P

Kids in England still go to libraries. My two year old grand daughter goes to the local library to play and get books :O)

I wonder that kids on now days would go to the library or not, i still remember i had a membership card in our city library and loved to go there use browse lot of books and it was one the main activity which i carried through for long time.

I still love going to library. Browsing books. Looking at newspapers and magazines. Reading about local events and just watching other people.

wirehead don't worry ,, i have my own library u can join with me!

how sad that some people these days cannot appreciate the value of a real library anymore. i've survived my college days because of my favorite libraries. they make you concentrate and focus on studying in a way my room or the internet never could.

i also loved looking up the old books where previous students already highlighted the important parts for you and some even wrote notes on the margins of the pages. if the borrower's card at the back is old, you can even get to see if the book was read by a now famous person sometimes. you get to hold an actual piece of history

sorry if OoT, but I like Rem Kolhas design, really show "less is more" in architecture

My post is not complete without links and so your reference.

Did you visit & read their website or not yet?

The English teacher in thelonious is talking..

It is better to check it out. They did not tell it is the best..they said "It will be"

I appreciate their progress.

Maybe advanced like this library?

http://www.mhpbooks.com/is-this-the-worlds-most-awesome-library/

Will it rival the collection sizes of some of these libraries?

Or is just going to be the best because it says it's the best?

Lonious Agree..it varies with person to person.. Affordability, Comfortability, reliability levels are not same for everyone.

What if we don't have internet???

Lonius.. thtz interesting why did you ask that question?

It will be useful for sure,
