This article describes Airport Library which is no ordinary library. It holds more than 1,200 items, but it lends nothing. It operates 24/7, yet it's only staffed by volunteers for 2 or 3 hours a day. It offers just nine public-access computers, and it has no OPAC. There are specialized chairs that play music and videos, but there is no internet access. This unique library was built on a foundation of strong partnerships, and at the helm is ProBiblio, a Dutch library service organization. |
