Shame that government in the US does not invest in such resources for the community.
- dluan 7y agoWhat if we gave the community of upstarts and creatives that run the Omni the same $100m budget of the Oodi library? I've been to the Omni space where Counter Culture Labs is - and while it's cool that it is completely organic and has a great supportive and local feel, it also really feels cobbled together and limited. At least with lots of tool libraries popping up around the US, there's volunteers who just hang out and get involved with projects that people bring in. Imagine if that was the new kind of 'librarian' job - coder, fabricator, artist, designer, community oral historian, and archivist.
