Biblioteca Reformada -

Reformation required a brutal act: weeding. The librarians, using the MUSTIE method (Misleading, Ugly, Superseded, Trivial, Irrelevant, Elsewhere), removed 15,000 books that hadn't been checked out in a decade. Dried-out 1970s textbooks on computer programming? Gone. Yellowed romance novels with missing pages? Gone. They were recycled or sold in a "Liberation Sale" for 10 cents each.

Every successful biblioteca reformada reserves 30-40% of its floor space for a "Living Room" concept. This area has no shelves. Instead, it features comfortable, reconfigurable seating, coffee tables, and a café. biblioteca reformada
