LESEHUNGRIG as a child

Secretly reading under a blanket with a torch everything she got in her hands

Loves the feeling of having an really old handwritten book in his hands

Teaching adolescents that libraries are serviceproviders in schools

Has a problem with people who just come to use computers and watch porn (not considered scientific work)

The specialness of physical books can not be replaced and should more often be considered in times of information overload (smell, haptic feeling, easy on the eyes, better concentration)

Deciding together with an unknown person what book to chose can turn out to become a great friendship even if you discover you have a similar taste

Who will be allowed to access the reduced space? Members with a year ticket? People who need to work with physical books? People who have no other option to access the internet? People who need a place to work?

Don't "Google yourself to death" but use a book!

Corona

How long does the virus live on surfaces? Cardboard 24h

Where might be bottlenecks?

Can books be sterilized? Does it destroy the cover / pages?

How can social interaction in libraries still occurr while keeping people safe?
