I have a dream, a vision. I want to put up a library here in our province. It's gonna be something of a retirement job. I want to design it, build it, and manage it. It's going to be more of a private collection, but I suppose I can put a whole range of genres. There will be children's to old people's books. And there will be story telling sessions and autograph signing. It's got an automated system- a digitized library card maker, barcode scanner for books, and an inventory system like a POS. Just one computer for the librarian to manage lending and receiving. Another open terminal for people checking the reviews and availability of books. People can also write reviews on the books they've read using their library card. Then book sales can also be organized, and also for consignment from other people. Then a small cafe outside, and another private room for book club meetings and wifi users. A video and music room can also be made upstairs.
It's beautifully designed, warm and cozy. It's well ventilated, and most of all, it's FREE. Violations and late returns however, will be fined. :-)
