    This is a cool idea, but would significantly increase staffing needs. Where are you going to find librarians who want to work night shift?

      In Denmark, many libraries are open far into the evening/night (my local one is open until 22) and get this - they are unstaffed during those hours. You open the door with your loaning card.

      Imagine a world where everyone is so familiar with the Dewey Decimal system that fitting in to a library could be as easy as fitting as a bagger at a grocery store. That library science was as commonplace as knowing how to make a gin and tonic. Wait staff now pivots to late-night librarian. 😁

      I’m willing to bet there are a lot of librarians who would enjoy working a night shift. I’d apply for that job.
