Back in "the day" when I lived in the D.C. area (mid-80's) the Fairfax
County library put small library branches in a couple of new malls. Of
course there were no computer/internet stations then but they did have
automated catalogs and circulation. They had tables and chairs for reading
and small collections of approximately 1000-2000 books, journals, reference
materials, etc. We thought at the time that it was quite a novel idea.
Little did we know how prescient the county was.
