BiblioTech : A Completely Bookless Library Coming To San Antonio
The concept of bookless libraries has been around for a while and several organizations have tried to implement it by replacing books with computers and Wi-Fi networks. But there is one catch, unlike books you cant take those systems home with you! Well, Judge Nelson Wolf, who is planning to bring a bookless library to a whole city, has a solution to this problem.
BiblioTech, the new bookless library, provides you books in form of e-books. So, what's so different about this new system? Well, you don't need to bring your own device to access e-books here and there would be no computers either. The library will lend you its own e-readers. These devices will be given to users for two weeks. You can take these e-readers home, study e-books and return them.

One might, of-course, think that what if someone doesn't return these e-readers? Nelson already has a plan for this! According to him, we have your name and your address, so you cant run away. Moreover, the e-books go dead in two weeks, so you wont have anything worth keeping. The system is a good attempt toward completely bookless libraries and has got potential. We wish them success!
