A propos de la bibliothèque publique d'Amsterdam (source: It's all good)

[...] it isn't simply the new facility that has drawn attention, it is the new attitude. The director of OBA, Hans Van Velzen, said that the library has moved "from a lending library to an adventure library." He said that one of the major drawbacks of the old building was that there was "no invitation to explore. "You came in, you got books from one section of the library, and you departed. You never knew what else was in the library." That is not the case in this building. Your eye is constantly drawn to new spaces, interesting places. [ lire ]

Quand on aura compris ce principe, chers collègues, on pourra peut-être commencer à espérer (ou à moins désespérer, c'est selon)... Je sais, il s'agit d'une bib publique. Et alors? Remplacez "this is a library by the people, for the people" par "this is a library by the students, researchers, faculty, for the students, researchers, faculty"...
