They're alive!
The idea of the living library seems to be becoming more popular, and an article in Common Ground address the biggest concern I have about the idea, albeit briefly. Rules at the Santa Monica Library dictate that you can "check out" a "book" only for questions, not for confrontation. My biggest fear about this is that an Atheist Book will be attacked by someone from the Religious Right who accuses them of being a devil worshiper, for example. The living library could be incredibly successful in educating people about things they otherwise would never learn. But how much will it be used? How many people on the Religious Right want to learn from an Atheist Book?
