Several countries inquire about Bexar County’s digital public library

“Bexar County’s BiblioTech Library is receiving international attention for not having any books on its shelves. In fact, there are zero shelves available for the nearly 10,000 books filled with pages of information — web pages that is.”

A Bookless Library Opens in San Antonio

“Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff isn’t the man you’d imagine as the visionary for the nation’s first all-digital public library. The former San Antonio mayor doesn’t own an e-reader (“I refuse to read the e-book!” he says) and for years has collected first editions of modern novels (in print, mind you). Back in the 1990s, Wolff helped spearhead San Antonio’s 240,000 square-foot, six-story, $50 million central public library, a building the city is now struggling to figure out what to do with. Today, Wolff says he would’ve avoided building such a large facility. “Who would’ve thought 20 years ago we’d be where we are today?” he says.
