My topic is how libraries are changing their physical space to accommodate their “tribes.”  I have several ideas of what I want to write about, including:
-Going Dewey-less
-The changing reference desk
-Installation of coffee shops and other food stuffs
-Becoming cell-phone friendly (via special rooms)
-Libraries offering book vending machines
-”Cool” names of public space
