All-digital library opens up in Bexar County, Texas

Last summer, a daring reimagination of the public library — and perhaps, a testament to Apple design philosophy — opened in Bexar County, Texas. The Bibliotech Library, bereft of printed books, opened in an underserved county with the mission of providing digital assets to the local community at a fraction of the cost and floor space of a traditional library. The facility, free to all Bexar County residents, gives users access to BiblioTech’s digital collection including e-books, audiobooks, and software training databases. Additionally, the facility provides wireless Internet access to all patrons; computer classes; e-readers for lending and circulation; programs for children and adults, and a study and meeting space similar to that of a more traditional library.
