My local libraries are converting into makerspaces. They have green screens, sound studios, mac pros with Adobe creative suite software, 3D printers, Lego mindstorms, and a bunch of other stuff. Knowledge that can be printed is now abundant, but vernacular knowledge remains scarce, and the libraries in my city are becoming a storehouse for that knowledge. It's pretty cool.


out of interest, what city?


Not OP, but the Chicago Public Library system has essentially those amenities available at the Harold Washington Library Center.


Also, the suburbs of Chicago was the area I was harping on before.


Edmonton.
