Add A Library To Your Mall
Libraries are beginning to pop-up in malls. While they are not 'full-service libraries', they are typically open 80 or more hours per week.
"In 2001, the King County Library System, which includes Seattle and is one of the largest circulating libraries in the United States, opened its first library in a shopping mall after the owner of the popular Crossroads Mall in eastern King County contacted the library and offered space.
...This trend isn't confined to Washington State. Libraries in shopping malls are popping up across the US, according to Clara Bohrer, president of the Public Library Association."
