Glorious libraries

Submitted by Andrea Dickson on February 8, 2007 - 10:19.

Our central library in Seattle is quite the attraction, but it's downtown, and thus, kind of a pain for me to get to on an average day. I kind of miss living in a small town that had one big library; the ones here are all dispersed. But the online system for checking out and renewing selections is truly awesome. I will never miss the card catalogue.

Which, incidentally, is a very, very hot piece of furniture right now. You can buy old card catalogues on craigslist, if you're lucky, for thousands of bucks.
