An Updated Library in Mexico

When a small-town library in Mexico got their hands on a dozen classmate PCs, they wanted to share them with the whole community. And they did, one checkout at a time. Telling townsfolk that they could learn more from the computer in a week than from all the books they could read in that time, they allowed people to borrow the classmate PCs for seven days at a stretch. The response? Very enthusiastic, report the librarians, with an increase in applications for library cards.
