Una biblioteca musical: la Toronto Public Library!

Sembla que la innovació bibliotecària no s'acaba. De fet, tot just comença. Seguim trobant exemples de biblioteques que s'obren a experiències musicals més enllà de la col·lecció (que ja és digital) i la divulgació (que és virtual).

Les biblioteques tenim una potència extraordinària: un espai. Per què no utilitzar-ho en altres laboratoris?

Si seguiu aquest link de la Toronto Public Library us quedareu de pedra. Bé!
