Cushing Academy, a prep school in Massachusetts, has decided to get rid of all of the books in its library, creating in its place a digital “learning center,” replete with flat screen TVs that will project data from the Internet, Kindles, and “a $50,000 coffee shop.”
‘When I look at books, I see an outdated technology, like scrolls before books,’ said James Tracy, headmaster of Cushing and chief promoter of the bookless campus.
