Far beyond the physical boundaries of the library exists a world full of weightless books, magazine articles that interest only you, old newspapers that you don't have to dig up from a dusty basement, and courses that don't require a stressful commute. Dream along about unlimited knowledge and relaxation, only a few clicks away from you.
