This book should have been SO up my street but instead it was a collection of “interesting book rooms” many of which operate(d) with little human intervention with a few subtle jabs at existing public library stereotypes which I didn’t appreciate (things like “no one will shush you here” or “this place has no overdue fines” which, come on....). Many gorgeous (stock) photos and only a few original interviews, the rest gleaned from blogs, news and YouTube which, if you’re a real bibliophile, you’ve probably already read. Lovely, not much new in here.
