All,
I know this isn't about map libraries per se, but I thought you might be
interested.
I listen to "This American Life" on NPR.
http://www.thislife.org/
A few weeks ago they had the following story:
Act One. Dewey Decibel System. Alex Blumberg tells the story of an
audacious act of rebranding done by a group of people who aren't normally
thought of as very audacious: public librarians. In Michigan, they've
started staging rock concerts in libraries. The band that's been thrown
into the experiment The High Strung couldn't be more perfect for the
job. (22 minutes)
It is rather amusing. Thought you might enjoy it.
On the website click on "05" on the left side. The story is part of a
program called "Image Makers", episode #294.
