Millennials are keeping libraries alive
I believe it! I&#x27;m under 30, have a good sized apartment, and I also rent co-working office space in 2 places so I can always escape somewhere dedicated to getting work done. Still, I&#x27;m _excited_ by the thought of the library system in my city, and long to go revisit to the big reference library downtown.<p>To me libraries hold a romantic idea of being halls of knowledge, or even the place in which studying and teaching is done. It&#x27;s a temple of learning - and no matter what you&#x27;re studying, writing, or reading about - being in a place surrounded by so many other excited, eager learners is a big rush.<p>I went to the public library near one of the universities and every surface was filled with a laptop, with an energized student starting at it getting work done. It was amazing.<p>I don&#x27;t really check out books, but I&#x27;m hoping maybe the library could be a future venue for me to teach free classes to people - it does seem like they have educational classes running almost every day of the week.<p>How could a library not excite you? :D
