The library has historically been a vital component of civic life, but many aspects of its traditional function have already become contentious. This publication asks: what form should the library's physical structure assume to survive this new data-saturated society? This fascinating journey into the future of an age-old institution is obligatory reading for architects, librarians and users alike. ER -
