    The most interesting thing in the article to me is that there was a dual library/bookstore, and that it’s privately owned. I don’t think I’ve encountered a library that wasn’t publicly owned in the US.

      In the US, private libraries tend to be non-circulating, archival, specialist, or owned by private schools.
