This week we wrap up education month with a tribute to books.
Libraries are repositories of information, places of learning and of
research. One of the ancient libraries, the Library of Alexandria is
credited with comparing different versions of books with empirical
standards which became the beginnings of the scientific method.
Libraries are filled with adventures of discovery wrapped in layers of
shush. Book stores are another source for book-learning, though the
brick and mortar versions are dwindling in some places.
The Project of the Week is to add local libraries and book stores to the map.
