Not your everyday library
September 29, 2008 02:28 PM | GeneralRachel Gray, Information Services Librarian
One of the email lists I follow turned me onto an online article today about Jay Walker's personal library. Mr. Walker is the founder of think tank Walker Digital that’s best-known for Priceline.com, and when he built his house, he built it around a 3,600 square foot library that is part museum. It includes three levels of bookshelves and display areas that include everything from Sputnik to a raptor skeleton to the instruction manual for the Saturn V rocket.
The article is “Browse the Artifacts of Geek History in Jay Walker's Library” By Steven Levy and it is in Issue 16.10 of Wired. My jaw dropped at the sheer beauty of this library and it’s amazing collection, and I hope yours does too!
