Links and Stuff: February 3, 2011

Before I get to the regular Links and Stuff, I have two links that are incredibly important for this week:

• The Library of Alexandria was destroyed once already and there is a call to protect the modern version...
• ...These protesters are joining hands to do just that. 

 The story of the Egyptian protest is incredibly fast moving, but these images made me stop in me cause and consider the country wide implications of these events. If you have more interest in this story, I recommend visiting the Library of Alexandria's website.

• Libraries are already great places to meet, so why not use them as cowork spaces?
• Why doesn't Kindle like libraries?
• I'm just returning my books... with my car.
• Do you have what it takes to be a 21st Century Librarian?
• "Leave the libraries alone. You don’t understand their value."
