I'm intrigued less by the gimmicky nature of "turn town into library" than by:
- Making a library's collection accessible in places outside the orthodox walls of a library, while the library itself doesn't seem to reside in the links.
- Linking titles (if not accessible digital copies of the work itself) to local places of interest which "cross-index" with those titles. Tourism and history are obvious, but the potential is there to raise topics and books of interest not so self-evident or literal.
- The implication the library could still be a local brick and mortar location, with hardcopy books, but much smaller, and serve as the symbolic seat of the digital collection (though of course, those responsible for upkeep of digital links and such need not actually work in that brick and mortar location).
This may be old news / old ideas for those working in library science, but it piqued my interest as a concept with merit, though again the implementation is underwhelming.
Curious as to what others here think.
