I have been doing some thinking about our second major research project requiring us to observe two libraries and interview two librarians. I actually did this inadvertantly one time when I was applying for library positions (they hired in-house). I went to my local brach and asked some questions about the nature of today's library and the effects of e-books on lending. I discovered a whole new "virtual" Pasco Public Library System (http://pascolibraries.org/) after my discussion which left me excited about the future of librarianship. I also leanrned about Tumblebooks!
Our library branch is new, modern, neat, and clean. This makes finding books a pleasurable experience. This made me wonder about other types of libraries where the sensibilities of the public is not a major concern. This is probably going to be my focus on this project in the future.
