Pinboard Blog | What is Antisocial Bookmarking?
april 2010 by bkerr
One of my favorite places to work is the reading room of a large municipal library. It's a kind of half-private space where you have access to endless books, a desk with a little green-shaded lamp, and someone stern to shush people when they get too chatty. Working quietly with others is not forbidden, but you don't go there to socialize. You have room to spread out your materials and you can dive deep into the things that interest you. And you're surrounded by other people doing the same thing.
