Unshelved - Sept. 26, 2009

Unshelved is a webcomic about life in a Public library. My favorites are usually the Sunday Book Clubs, but I thought this one was worth sharing too. [Note: it's drawn a little differently than normal, because it was done by a guest artist.]

This private high school in Massachusetts has decided to embrace the digital age, and upgrade their library to a multi-media Learning Center, with huge flatscreen monitors, computer stations, laptop ready study carrels, e-readers, downloadable texts, and a $12,000 espresso machine.

Sounds awesome, right?

Then you get to the part where, to make room for all this - administrators decided to THROW AWAY ALL THE BOOKS. ARGH!
