question 1
what does library as a place really mean?
virtual vs bricks and mortars
providing social space, group meeting space, collaboration space
how do you balance between the needs of staff and the needs of patrons
teaching space, computer labs,

in some cases this means removing smaller collections to make room for meeting or programming space if that is what patrons want and need

library should be a community space, community center open to all ages, so that everyone can get the library experience. people use the library for many reasons, not just to get the books they want, but for social contact, cultural enrichment, etc.,
