34、f the Library Mold, in Boston and BeyondAAn old joke about libraries goes like this: A boy walks into a library and asks for a burger and fries. “Young man!“ the startled librarian reprimands (训斥). “You are in a library.“ So the boy repeats his order, only this time, he whispers.BSo much has changed
35、 in libraries in recent years that such a scene may not be so far-fetched. Many libraries have become busy community centers where talking out loud and even eating are perfectly acceptable. The Boston Public Library, which was founded in 1848 and is the oldest public urban library in the country, is
36、 moving rapidly in that direction. With a major renovation underway, this Copley Square institution is breaking out of its granite (花岗岩) shell to show an airier, more welcoming side to the passing multitudes. Interior plans include new retail space, a souped-up section for teenagers, and a high-stoo
37、l bar where patrons (顾客) can bring their laptops and look out over Boylston Street. “Youll be able to sit here and work and see the world go by,“ said Amy Ryan, president of the library, on a recent tour. “Were turning ourselves outward.“CSuch plans might shock anyone who thought that in the digital
38、 age, libraries those hushed sanctuaries (安静的圣殿) of the past had gone the way of the Postal Service. “Just the opposite,“ said Susan Benton, president and chief executive of the Urban Libraries Council. “Physical visits and virtual visits are off the charts.“ At Bostons central library alone, the nu
39、mber of physical visits jumped to 1.72 million in 2013, up by almost half a million from 2012.DLibrary usage has increased across the country for a variety of reasons, librarians say, including the recession, the availability of new technology and because libraries have been reimagining (重塑) themsel
40、ves a necessity for staying relevant as municipal budgets are slashed (大幅度削减) and e-books are on the rise. Among the more innovative is the Chicago Public Library, which offers a free Maker Lab, with access to 3-D printers, laser cutters and milling machines. The Lopez Island Library in Washington S
41、tate offers musical instruments for checkout. In upstate New York, the Library Farm in Cicero, part of the Northern Onondaga Public Library, lends out plots of land on which patrons can learn organic growing practices.EAlong with their new offerings, libraries are presenting a dramatically more open
42、 face to the outside world, using lots of glass, providing comfortable seating, as much for collaborative work as solitary pursuits, and allowing food and drink. “This is whats happening at a lot of libraries, the creation of an open, physical environment,“ said Joe Murphy, a librarian and library f
43、utures consultant based in Reno, Nev. “The idea of being inviting isnt just to boost attendance but to maximize peoples creativity.“FLibraries have long facilitated (使变得容易) the “finding“ of information, he said. “Now they are facilitating the creating of information.“ That will be evident at the Bos
44、ton librarys new section for teenagers. Teen Central is to become what is known as “homago“ space where teenagers can “hang out, mess around and geek out.“ It will include lounges, restaurant booths, game rooms and digital labs, as well as software and equipment to record music and create comic book
45、s. The vibe will be that of an industrial loft (顶楼),with exposed pipes and polished concrete floors, what Ms. Ryan called “eco-urban fashionableness.“G“The sand is shifting under our business,“ she said. “When I started out in the 70s, you would walk up to the reference desk and ask a question and I
46、 would find an answer. Today its the opposite. People turn to librarians to help them sift through (细查) the 10 million answers they find on the Internet. Were more like navigators.“HAt least the Boston library will still feature books. One library, in San Antonio, has done away with them. The BiblioTech is nothing but rows of computers, e-readers and an “iPad bar.“ Its goal is the same as that of traditional l
