Should Public Libraries Become Hackrspaces?

[Anthony Hook]

Slashdot had an appropriate article this morning:

http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/11/03/11/0225227/Should-Public-Libraries-Become-Hacker-Spaces

Which introduces the idea, and links to:

http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2011/03/is-it-time-to-rebuild-retool-public-libraries-and-make-techshops.html

I figured this would be the community to share this with.

Thanks Anthony. That same article was also shared with the Distributed
Hacker/Maker Network mailing list (also in the valley):
http://groups.google.com/group/dhmn-discussion
One of the members has already setup a lunch meeting with a decision
maker at the Appleton Public Library to discuss the subject.

Things happen fast around here!
