I really loved the local library in the 80s/very early 90s (as a kid without network access). I probably spent like 20-25 hours per week there.

Now when I visit it's always meh. They have sacrificed breadth and density for "curation" and "experience spaces".

The space between the book shelves seems to have almost doubled. Why?

Bring back super high dense book shelving filled with interesting stuff.
