Computerworld reports on the D.C. Public Library's launch of the Digital Commons, one of, if not the largest such spaces in the country. At this 11,000-square-foot space inside the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library downtown, patrons can use one of 80 computers, try out an e-reader, take a class, print out 3D models on a Cubex 3D printer, or more.
There's also a coworking space called the Dream Lab, where cardholders planning to start high-tech businesses can park themselves, make phone calls (in a library!) and more.
