Libraries allow you to browse a large amount of options in a public space and then pick out what you want to look at and have focused, personal attention with that item. Museums curate the options available for you to browse, leaving most items in storage, and if you want to focus on an object you have to do it in a public space with others walking around, sometimes even crowds.

The point? Libraries offer the best experience by allowing unlimited browsing with the option of personal engagement with a selected item. If a museum could function like a library, its impact on communities and culture could be far greater.
