The Library Fix is the title of Garrison Keillor‘s current column, and presents his take on the long-term role that libraries can play in society. It also appears in today’s Chicago Tribune, though you may need to register for access.
It also reminded me of the first library I worked in, a Carnegie library in Brookfield, IL. It was warm in summer, cold in winter, drafty, and the antithesis of ADA compliance, but it was a charming building. Its replacement is a good library building, but doesn’t have the same charming feel to it.
