The London Library after the Blitz

This photo amazes me. A bombed out library in the center of London during the blitz. Now libraries have to provide free wifi, automated check in and check out and gaming stations to entice customers. I must admit I can't remember the last time I borrowed a book from a library. Working in publishing means I have books readily available but if I ever have kids I will certainly be bringing them to my local library for story time and readings.
