All of the local libraries near me have a 3D printer. One library close by offers a coworkers space I can borrow a Roku and aLaptop. . Libraries don't need distruption they are already doing it themselves.
- maxxxxx 8y agoThat's one thing I have noticed at the libraries close to me. They are pretty good at adapting to the needs of their neighborhood and pretty creative. They seem to be one of the places where poor people get exposed to things they typically would never be able to use. 3D printers are one example.
- Fricken 8y agoMy local libraries are converting into makerspaces. They have green screens, sound studios, mac pros with Adobe creative suite software, 3D printers, Lego mindstorms, and a bunch of other stuff. Knowledge that can be printed is now abundant, but vernacular knowledge remains scarce, and the libraries in my city are becoming a storehouse for that knowledge. It's pretty cool.

- spamizbad 8y agoNot OP, but the Chicago Public Library system has essentially those amenities available at the Harold Washington Library Center.
