Hernando Guanlao has been running his own version of a public library for twelve years in Manila. The library has grown from about a hundred books to a few thousand. From the article: “The idea is simple. Readers can take as many books as they want, for as long as they want – even permanently. As Guanlao says: ‘The only rule is that there are no rules.'”
Thanks, Dina Wood!
Thats amazing!
The idea of giving books away permanently seems kind of dumb. How can you make books available to others if you give them away. A library is supposed to be for the benefit of all, not for those keep (steal) books for themselves!
