Where Are We Going?

Published by hmwatts on Sat, 09/29/2012 - 4:13pm

OPPL has been thinking a lot about the future of libraries lately. I wonder what picture books will look like in the future, as well as what the library building itself will look like. 

Here are three interesting [1] and different [2] and exciting [3] visions of where libraries are going...I'm having fun dreaming up my own, too!

What do you think? How will people get to the library when you're grown up? What will they do once they get there? Will there still be paper books, or only e-books, or both? Email us your future library design ideas and drawings and we'll post them on this blog.
