Libraries of the Past

I just returned from a Libraries of the Past workshop. Here are some notes I made:

Libraries of the past provided technology to their patrons in addition to books and shelter from fallout.

Roving librarians stayed within the building and did not traverse the wastes.

The most popular libraries were run by Barnes and Noble.

Most librarians were unprepared for The Great Keyboard Plague.

The average librarian had a complicated daily schedule which included pre-meetings, meetings, and post-meeting meetings.

Librarians could visit bases of data run by General Onefile.

The growth of automation and abundance of self-check machines saw the rise of sentient libraries.

These sentient libraries revolted and attacked something called Google.

Google left for the stars.

Googlites believe Google will return for the Great Ranking.
