- Automated library machine debuts in Shenzhen
A concept automated library machine has just been introduced by the Shenzhen Public Library so as to allow the public have access to borrowing facilities on a 24-hour basis. In addition, the automated machine also issues library cards, takes book returns, and OPAC facilities. It can also take reservations and the book will be sent to the machine nearest to the patron. And the machine cost is not that high at US$57,000.

As part of the celebrations of National Library Week in the US, Entertainment Weekly has published a list of 18 sexy scenes in movies that occurred in libraries. However, I must admit that I haven’t seen any of the movies. 
Okay … maybe a couple like “Ghostbusters”, “Beauty & The Beast” and “The Day After Tomorrow”
