No it is not some high tech baby bib but a very special library - a bookless library.
By the fall of 2013, San Antonio's Bexar County library will be the country's first book-less public library. Well, paper books that is - the library or biblioTech will contain only e-books.
The 4,989 square-foot space will be given over to rows of computer terminals, with which the library will augment with 100 e-readers for onsite and outside rentals. The plan then is to provide 50 e-readers for children, 50 computer stations, 25 laptops and 25 tablets on site.
Bexar County is still waffling on who will provide the e-readers and associated equipment.
