Chicago Public Library to Open Free Digital Fabrication Maker Space
'Underused spaces' is also some shit. Public libraries saw an overall 32.7% increase in visits from 2001 to 2010. Library use, especially of computers and govt resources, increased since the repression.

If you happen to be in Chicago this weekend, ask one of the 40,000+ librarians who'll be in town for a conference why libraries most certainly *aren't* dying on the vine.
