Cushing Academy, a prep school in Boston, has decided to give nearly all of their books away to local schools. According to engadget, the school is replacing the library with “a high tech ‘learning center’, housing three flat screen televisions, laptops, 18 e-readers, and a coffee bar”.

Hmm…

What happens if more than 18 kids show up to read?
