Libraries are more than simple repositories for books. A library is an extension of a community--a living entity that is in constant flux. A good library connects people with information packages and services that reflect that their most basic needs and wildest desires. An exceptional library cares for and exhibits its collection like a world-class museum. The British Library is an exceptional library. The library's new exhibition of sacred texts employs cutting-edge technology to unlock the contemporary relevance of ancient objects. Viewers can gaze upon the beauty of ancient Bibles and Korans, and then ask a scholar, an educator or an atheist philosopher a question about the books. This encourages people to move beyond basic aesthetic appreciation and encounter opposing theories. The experts attempt to answer heavy questions like What is sacred, and Is there truth in the text? I am just jazzed about this.
