This is the first public library without any books

<http://grist.org/list/new-york-city-is-using-its-food-waste-to-create-heat/> By Holly Richmond <http://grist.org/author/holly-richmond/> [image: bibliotech]Bexar BiblioTech<https://www.facebook.com/BexarBibliotech> The end is near! Page-sniffers, mourn the loss of our dog-eared friends! I MEAN … HURRAH for a library that saves trees! (Sob.) BiblioTech <http://bexarbibliotech.org/> is an all-digital public library on the south side of San Antonio that offers<http://bexarbibliotech.org/about-biblio-tech>10,000 titles on 600 e-readers, 25 iPads, and 25 laptops. The library also includes 50 desktop computers and 100 Nook tablets preloaded with children’s books — just no physical books. (Patrons can read the library’s digital books on their own tablets as well.) Internet access and kids’ storytime are other, more familiar perks. [image: bibliotech-interior]Bexar BiblioTech<https://www.facebook.com/BexarBibliotech> Sounds pretty green, right? Without the need for vast book storage space, the $2.3 million library can be way smaller than traditional libraries. At fewer than 5,000 square feet, BiblioTech’s smaller space means less heat and light and thus less pollution. As sage Umbra once wrote<http://grist.org/article/in-a-bind/> : It hurts to say it, but e-books are looking like a good option, even perhaps the better option. Ouch … There are caveats as usual, but I am forced to report the general conclusion that e-books produce less CO2 emissions and use less water than conventional newspapers and books. According to Ted Genoways’ oft-cited article “The Price of the Paperless Revolution <http://www.vqronline.org/articles/2010/fall/genoways-paperless/>,” it takes roughly the same amount of energy and materials to make an e-reader as it does 50 books. So for BiblioTech to break even, energy-wise, patrons would need to read 50 books on each tablet. With 10,000 library users registered in its first three months, this probably won’t be an issue. The green verdict will also depend on how often the library replaces its gadgets (obviously less often is greener, but planned obsolescence might not allow for that). And what about the mineral mining involved in making e-readers, and the e-waste once they’ve been discarded? Say what you will about books, but at least they’re semi-compostable.
