Itinerant Librarians

Itinerant Librarians--what an interesting, interesting idea. I can picture a masked man with a barcode scanner ducking round corners and cataloging people's books! And the Distributed Library Project is most engaging...something to delve deeper into this fine weekend. They do, to be fair, have some funny and rather outdated ideas about how libraries work (e.g. "Unfortunately, the traditional library system doesn't do much to foster community. Patrons come and go, but there is very little opportunity to establish relationships with people or groups of people."). Still, an intruguing concept.
