What Next For The Local Library?Posted at 11:45AM Sunday 29 Aug 2010 The public's interest in books is certainly not waning, if anything it's growing. And there are some very successful public libraries. So How do they do it?Simple. By fusing the idea that made bookshops and book festivals so popular. They have talks, lectures, courses and a staff whose focus is the visitor experience. There are promotional displays of books put out on tables. And, they serve a decent cup of coffee. As people leave classes they are encouraged to borrow books on their way out.
