Our wireless equipment provider obviously feels proud of its job at Brent Civic Centre. I have a limited understanding of such things, but there is no doubt that the technology has helped reduce the carbon footprint of Council employees as well as cutting costs.
I think that such wireless technology is likely to drive even greater changes in libraries than we have seen in the past few years, it looks like ranks of desktop computers at desks will become less common and people bringing their own devices and using them on sofas become much more so. I wish the public debate on libraries would focus more on these social changes and how to meet them, rather than being dominated by the fate of buildings and anecdotes from childhood.
