May good health find their operaters, and may the next Library of Alexandria make it to the heat death of the universe.

While that may be what a library is to you, it may not be what it is to other people. To me, a library is about public good and the storage and dissemination of knowledge for all (and the degree to which each of those is important depends on location).

I'm sure other people think it differently as well. The important part is that while we have ideas about what it means to us, neither you nor I get to dictate what it is, as that could exclude any number of other people.

Sure, it's all infrastructure, so it makes sense, but it still feels like "Information Highway? Transport Ministry it is."
