"The Anarchist in the Library"; plus the Library Hotel

[rhythmaning]

I know some people out there love libraries; others believe the contents of libraries actually belong to them. (You know who you are.)

So I was amused by a couple of things I saw on the web recently.

The first is an article on Boing Boing about a book called "The Anarchist in the Library". The book itself is about open and closed systems and their view of knowledge ; but I just loved the title!

And then I came across Library Hotel in New York. It looks like the perfect place to stay - for some of you!

Wow, fab hotel. You wouldn't want to leave and explore NY!

For a hefty price, unfortunately!

I want to live in the Library Hotel.

Me too. Changing rooms regularly.

But could you carry all the books with you? ;)

Isn't that what room service is for?
