Book-less library

A library without traditional aisles of printed books. Instead, the library will be equipped with aisles of computers and electronic gadgets such as e-readers and tablets. Library goers will be able to take out books on any device in the library, such as taking out the e-readers for a period of time or bring their own e-readers to the library to load books onto their own devices. Working with e-book providers or distributors, library will be able to provide visitors with access to a large variety of titles.
