Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff isn’t the man you’d imagine as the visionary for the nation’s first all-digital public library.
The former San Antonio mayor doesn’t own an e-reader (“I refuse to
read the e-book!” he says) and for years has collected first editions of
modern novels (in print, mind you). Back in the 1990s, Wolff helped
spearhead San Antonio’s 240,000 square-foot, six-story, $50 million
central public library, a building the city is now struggling to figure
out what to do with. Today, Wolff says he would’ve avoided building such
a large facility.
