Neat idea, but most libraries I'm familiar with discourage too much social interaction. Maybe after 10 the "be quiet" rule gets rescinded.

They could have a common room where you are allowed to talk. But that would cost money of course, we can't possibly afford that.

Edit: please don't have showers in the common rooms of pubic libraries

That could work. I think it is an interesting idea to turn libraries into a 3rd space. We need to do something. People are lonely and isolated af.

I think it's both an interesting and fantastic idea. I could not be more for it
