Q: How to return a sequence generation for an Id In Scala Slick, if you are not using auto-incremented Id, but with sequence generation strategy for the id, how do you return that id?

A: Let's say you have the following case class and Slick table:
case class User(id: Option[Int], first: String, last: String)

object Users extends Table[User]("users") {
  def id = column[Int]("id", O.PrimaryKey, O.AutoInc)
  def first = column[String]("first")
  def last = column[String]("last")
  def * = id.? ~ first ~ last <> (User, User.unapply _)
}

The important things to consider here is the fact that User.id is an Option, because when we create it we will set it to None and the DB will generate the number for it.
Now you need to define a new insert mapping which omits the autoincremented column. This is needed because some databases don't allow you to insert into a column which is labeled as Auto Incremental. So instead of:
INSERT INTO users VALUES (NULL, "first, "last")

Slick will generate:
INSERT INTO user(first, last) VALUES ("first", "last")

The mapping looks like this (which must be placed inside Users):
def forInsert = first ~ last <> ({ t => User(None, t._1, t._2)}, { (u: User) => Some((u.first, u.last))})

Finally getting the auto-generated id is simple. We only need to specify in the returning the id column:
val userId = Users.forInsert returning Users.id insert User(None, "First", "Last")

Or you could instead move the returning statement:
def forInsert = first ~ last <> ({ t => User(None, t._1, t._2)}, { (u: User) => Some((u.first, u.last))}) returning id

And simplify your insert calls:
val userId = Users.forInsert insert User(None, "First", "Last")

The Razor's Edge () — двенадцатый студийный альбом австралийской хард-рок-группы AC/DC, выпущенный 21 сентября 1990 года.

Единственный студийный альбом группы, в записи которого участвовал ударник Крис Слейд. Продюсер альбома — Брюс Фейрбейрн (Bruce Fairbairn). Все песни альбома были сочинены Ангусом и Малколмом Янгами, последний из которых завершил курс лечения от алкогольной зависимости и снова начал играть в качестве ритм-гитариста.

Альбом включает в себя песни «Thunderstruck» и «Moneytalks», одни из самых известных треков AC/DC. Огромный коммерческий успех вернул группе известность конца 70-х — начала 80-х годов. Альбом находится на 2 месте по рейтингу Billboard 200 в США и на 4 месте — в Великобритании. «The Razor's Edge» был пятикратно сертифицирован как платиновый альбом (продано 5 миллионов копий), и в 2003 году, ремастированный, был включен в состав серии «AC/DC Remasters».

Sisters, mothers, daughters, friends. However your female relationships are rooted, women empowering other women makes the world go round. It is by supporting, cheerleading and lending a voice to fellow females – take model Cameron Russell's Model Mafia movement, which is helping to expose abuse in the modelling industry, as an example – that we will all advance. Nowhere is this more visible than on social media. Platforms that started as vehicles for individuals to gain as many followers as possible are becoming homes for a new spirit of collaboration and sense of shared accomplishment. We are leaving behind the Mean Girls attitude of yesterday, and embracing a new, more positive notion – lift up, don't tear down. Successful women are no longer standing alone. They're making equally powerful allies. After all, a fash pack has a far better chance of survival than a lone wolf, and when the trolls are out, the safety in numbers strategy is a smart one. There is a certain kinship in having a blog (or vlog), too, as Bazaar favourite 30-year-old Karen Wazen Bakhazi, and 29-year-old Camila Coelho prove.
Born thousands of miles apart (in London and Brazil respectively), from completely different cultures (Lebanese versus South American), they share a vision and a personal bond. These girls actually fit together like jeans and a white tee. Oh, and they look like sisters, too. All sleek mid-length hair, pillowy lips, beguiling Princess Jasmine eyes and wardrobes to knock your Off-White socks off.
Yet instead of the expected horizontal competitiveness, they've found mutual appreciation. They've synced their similarities and married their differences. "Camila has a lot more followers than I do," admits Karen, "but she never makes me feel inferior, it's never an issue.
If anything she takes the time to introduce me to people, she's nurturing like that." Camila returns the compliment, "Karen is smart, sweet and pretty inside and out." Their Instagram feeds are awash with sartorial similarities, a fuchsia Oscar de la Renta two-piece for Camila, a hot pink Balenciaga number for Karen – all boosted by heart emoji-filled lines of recognition for one another. The sisterhood is real for these two. This is genuine girl-on-girl mutual appreciation.
Camila wears: Top, Dhs1,010, Robert Wun. Jacket, Dhs6,338, Maram. Skirt, Dhs1,695, Deborah Lyons. Heels, Dhs1,962, Di Gaia. Tassel earrings, Dhs1,690, Ammanii. Hoop earrings, Dhs1,175, Ammanii.
To celebrate this spirit of sisterhood, Harper's Bazaar joined forces with the Cairo-based fashion agency for emerging talent Maison Pyramide to photograph Karen and Camila in brands whose designers mirror this sense of powerhouse teams of friends and siblings, such as Egypt's Okhtein, Reine, Nafsika Skourti from Jordan, Izaak Azanei and Paris-based Nour Hammour. Meeting other bloggers can be a bit like dating Karen admits, "It doesn't always work, but with us, it was all transparent and genuine. We're both happy in our own skin, we're content with where we are today, and we're not hungry for what other people have," she says. Beyond the currency of likes, this friendship is more like a stalwart wardrobe staple; it's a union that won't fade with the season.
"When I truly like someone, I genuinely support that person. I believe that women are stronger together," Camila Coelho tells Bazaar. Nowhere is this more apparent than in her friendship with Karen Wazen Bakhazi. Aside from the obvious similarities that are fashion and flawless genetics, "We're both calm, but at the same time hyper," Camila laughs, "and we appreciate the simple things in life." Family equals happiness for both girls and they check in with each other from all corners of the globe. "One day, Karen's son," she has three children, "was sending me voice messages, it was the cutest thing," Camila says. "It sounds clichéd but quality time with family and friends is what makes me the happiest. We've been talking about having a weekend in Lebanon together, so I can meet Karen's family and eat lots of Lebanese food." It sounds like Beirut's geotag is going stellar.
The rise to social media stardom can be lonely. "Fashion can be so overwhelming," Karen Wazen Bakhazi sighs. Being an influencer, "Can leave you open to so much judgement, it can be painful and the attacks are personal." Refuge comes in the form of supportive friendships, such as the one she shares with Camila Coelho. "I have a sense of safety when I'm with Camila," Karen smiles. Despite the mother-of-three admitting to feeling like she's "constantly juggling" in life, Camila is quick to reassure her of her "super mum" skills and it is apparent to see how a small passing compliment, heart emoji or 'like' can result in the kind of positivity that breeds power, and the energy and enthusiasm is catching. And while influential friends can boost your Insta footprint, when all the glamour is stripped back, all they really hope to do is encourage and boost each other's self-esteem.

The Patriots made a lot of waves when it came to their underdog status coming into Sunday's AFC title tilt with the Chiefs. From Tom Brady's comment saying everyone thinks they "suck" immediately following the divisional playoff win over the Chargers to Julian Edelman selling $30 T-shirts encouraging people to bet against them, the Pats been quick to remind people Kansas City is favored heading into the game. (The Chiefs are still three-point favorites, at least as of Friday afternoon.)
On Friday morning, Brady was asked if there was a genuine feeling of "disrespect" in the locker room.
"I mean, we're going against a team that's the No. 1 seed in the league. I'm sure there's a lot of people that are thinking they're going to win," he said. "Everyone can have their own opinion. We certainly have an opinion, and we've got to go out there and execute our best in order to accomplish that. So, it's going to be a tough game.
"I mean, we're not certainly expecting to go 15 minutes into the game and think that it's over. It's going to go down to the end. They've got a great team. Like I said, we feel like we have a team that can compete well against anybody. We're going to need to play really well, and that's what makes for a championship game. Hopefully, we can have our best one of the year. "
As for Edelman, he brushed off questions about feeling disrespected.
"I'm just worried about Kansas City," he said. "Honestly, I don't know. I don't look into stuff like that. We're just worried about Kansas City and doing everything I can to prepare myself mentally, physically and emotionally to go out and play my best game. I don't know, I'm sorry."
As expected, the Patriots are as healthy as you can be heading into Sunday's game. Of course, there are plenty of players still suffering from bumps and bruises, but as our own Doc Flynn noted here, it's an extraordinary run of good fortune for New England at this time of the season.
With the idea that it's never to early to play "guess the inactives," when it comes to the first six, we'll go with Keionta Davis, Derek Rivers, James Ferentz, Duke Dawson, Stephen Anderson and Obi Mellifonwu. Give us your take in the comments.
Interesting comments from Bill Belichick on Friday morning -- asked if he still gets nervous or anxious before games, he was quick with a reply.
"Nervous, yeah. Sure," he said. "You want to go out there and do well. There's an anxiety. We all have things in the game that we have to do. You want to perform them well, not let your team down because everybody's counting on you to do your job. You're counting on everybody else to do theirs. You don't worry about everybody else. You just worry about doing what you can do and make sure you don't screw up what you're supposed to do, what you're responsible for, because nobody else can do that. That's your job, and we all have jobs to do. We all want to do them well."

On October 29, 2010, an email was sent to local media, purportedly by Eckersley, which falsely claimed that he had ended his campaign. At least one television station inaccurately reported the story as fact. Eckersley later filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) alleging that Long may have been involved in the hoax. The FEC investigated and reported in 2013 that the emails had come from Patrick Binning, a political consultant, and that Binning had acted independently of Long's campaign. As the FEC found no evidence that Long's campaign or the Republican Party was involved, under the law electoral fraud had not occurred.

Bob Parker, a farmer, also sought the Republican nomination. Sowers was unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
Emerson raised $2,006,543 and spent $2,071,160. Sowers raised $1,588,389 and spent $1,572,930. Bill raised $15,630 and spent the same amount. Parker raised $38,565 and spent $37,472.

Designated to Return: SG Marcus Smart
On Saturday Night, January 30th, NBA's Primetime game with the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtic's Marcus Smart was injured in the 4th quarter due to non-contact. He immediately grabbed for his lower leg. ABC later zoomed in on the video and one would immediately jump to the conclusion that he just tore his Achilles' Tendon.

Marcus Smart has a left calf strain, per the team.pic.twitter.com/fR3Wn8KZRk
And a more zoomed in video that was displayed during the telecast.

Positive news for the Celtics: First-team All-Defensive guard Marcus Smart has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 left calf strain, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. He will miss some time, but sigh of relief for all.
— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) January 31, 2021
Let's review the calf muscles. There are two "main" muscles that create the posterior aspect of our leg. Many people are familiar with the "Gastrocnemius" and others are less familiar with the "Soleus" The Gastrocnemius is the more superficial muscle while the Soleus is the deeper of the two. Together the two muscles form the Triceps Surae. Sometimes the "Plantaris" muscle is also added but we will not include it in this discussion.
The Gastrocnemius is a phasic and primary mover muscle and is made up of a medial head and a lateral head. It functions better with knee extension than in flexion (active insufficiency). The Soleus is more of a tonic and postural muscle and functions as stronger plantar flexor when the knee is bent. Together the two muscles allow for the ankle to plantar flex and assist with push off from the ground.

The gastrocnemius, the muscle that has been diagnosed as "strained" has two heads to it. It has the medial head and the lateral head. Medial head gastrocnemius injuries are more common than lateral head injuries. And in the video, you can see that Marcus Smart "strained" the medial head.
One of the unique features about the gastrocnemius is that it does cross multiple joints. It crosses the knee joint, a weak knee flexion muscle, the talocrural (ankle) joint, a strong ankle plantar flexion muscle, and the subtalar joint, a weak inversion muscle.
The Soleus crosses the talocrural and the subtalar joint. As previously stated, the Soleus plays an important role in allowing us to plantar flex our ankle but also plays a vital role in helping us maintain balance when standing upright.
So when his lower leg was in complete knee extension and ankle dorsiflexion, that put the muscle on complete stretch and an eccentric load on it, it was a recipe for a potential injury. I would say he is fortunate that his tear did not occur closer to the Achilles' tendon and occurred in the muscle belly.
Muscle has a greater blood supply network, compared to tendon, to allow for faster recovery times.
I am not nearly as optimistic about him being out for 1-2 weeks, as previously reported, considering the fasciculation you saw in the muscle and that this Grade I strain is potentially a Grade II strain. It may take at minimum of 2 weeks for him and team to consider a return and start a more rigorous rehabilitation schedule that consists of more than passive modalities and treatment. Considering how the Kevin Durant situation turned out in Golden State, the Boston Celtics may take a more cautious approach for Marcus Smart.

Almost 10 years of being a member here totally change my views in life.
I am great full that God gave me the opportunity to join in this church because the teachings of the gospel never let me to get involved into any kind of bad influences.Instead,they are giving us breaks to discover our talents.When I was still a youth of the church,I used to be one of those dancers on the stage but not anymore because I've already reached 18.
Now that I'm a young single adult I know that I can do much better and a lot of things more.
I'm thankful for the leaders of church for their unlimited counsel and to my mom for her support.


Tacon, A.G.J.; Hasan, M.R.; Metian, M.
Demand and supply of feed ingredients for farmed fish and crustaceans: trends and prospects.. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 564. FAO, 2011. 87 pp.
The rise into global prominence and rapid growth of finfish and crustacean aquaculture has been due, in part, to the availability and on-farm provision of feed inputs within the major producing countries. More than 46 percent of the total global aquaculture production in 2008 was dependent upon the supply of external feed inputs. For the aquaculture sector to maintain its current average growth rate of 8 to 10 percent per year to 2025, the supply of nutrient and feed inputs will have to grow at a similar rate. This had been readily attainable when the industry was young. It may not be the case anymore as the sector has grown into a major consumer of and competitor for feed resources. This paper reviews the dietary feeding practices employed for the production of the major cultured fed species, the total global production and market availability of the major feed ingredient sources used and the major constraints to feed ingredient usage, and recommends approaches to feed ingredient selection and usage for the major species of cultivated fish and crustacean. Emphasis is placed on the need for major producing countries to maximize the use of locally available feed-grade ingredient sources, and, in particular, to select and use those nutritionally sound and safe feed ingredient sources whose production and growth can keep pace with the 8 to 10 percent annual average annual growth of the fed finfish and crustacean aquaculture sector.

Q: Simplest way to make a spiral line go through an arbitrary point?

const canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

ctx.strokeStyle = "black";
ctx.lineWidth = 1;
ctx.beginPath();

let last = 1
let start = 1
let i = 0
let origin = [250, 250]

for (let i2 = 0; i2 < 20; i2++) {
  ctx.ellipse(...origin, start, start, Math.PI / 2 * i, 0, Math.PI / 2);
  i++
  i %= 4
  if (i == 1) origin[1] -= last
  else if (i == 2) origin[0] += last
  else if (i == 3) origin[1] += last
  else if (i == 0) origin[0] -= last;
  [last, start] = [start, start + last]
}
ctx.stroke();

ctx.beginPath()
ctx.lineCap = 'round'
ctx.lineWidth = 7
ctx.strokeStyle = "red";
ctx.lineTo(400, 400)
ctx.stroke()
<canvas width="500" height="500" style="border:1px solid #000000;"></canvas>

What is the simplest way to make the spiral line go through an arbitrary point in the canvas? For example 400x 400y. I think adjusting the initial start and last values based on some calculation could work. The only difference between the first code snippet and the second one is the initial last and start variables. Other solutions that rewrite the entire thing are welcome too.

        const canvas = document.querySelector( 'canvas' );
        const ctx = canvas.getContext( '2d' );

        ctx.strokeStyle = "black";
        ctx.lineWidth = 1;
        ctx.beginPath();

        let last = 0.643
        let start = 0.643
        let i = 0
        let origin = [250,250]

        for (let i2=0; i2<20; i2++) {
            ctx.ellipse(...origin, start, start, Math.PI/2 *i , 0, Math.PI /2);
            i++
            i%=4
            if (i==1) origin[1] -= last
            if (i==2) origin[0] += last
            if (i==3) origin[1] += last
            if (i==0) origin[0] -= last
            ;[last, start] = [start, start + last]
        }
        ctx.stroke();

    ctx.beginPath()
    ctx.lineCap = 'round'
    ctx.lineWidth = 7
    ctx.strokeStyle = "red";
    ctx.lineTo(400, 400)
    ctx.stroke()
    <canvas width="500" height="500" style="border:1px solid #000000;"></canvas>

A: I am not sure how you want the spiral to intercept the point. There are twp options.

*

*Rotate the spiral to intercept point

*Scale the spiral to intercept point

This answer solves using method 1. Method 2 has some problems as the number of turns can grow exponentially making the rendering very slow if we don't set limits to where the point of intercept can be.
Not a spiral
The code you provided does not draw a spiral in the mathematical definition but rather is just a set of connected ellipsoids.
This means that there is more than one function that defines a point on these connected curves. To solve for a point will require some complexity as each possible curve must be solved and the solution then vetted to locate the correct curve. On top of that ellipsoids I find to result in some very ugly math.
A spiral function
If we define the curve as just one function where the spiral radius is defined by the angle, it is then very easy to solve.
The function for the radius can be a simplified polynomial in the form Ax^P+C where x is the angle, P is the spiralness (for want of a better term), A is the scale (again for want of a better term) and C is the start angle
C is there if you want to make the step angle of the spiral be a set length eg 1 px would be angle += 1 / (Ax^P+C) If C is 0 then 1/0 would result in an infinite loop.
Drawing the spiral
As defined above there are many types of spirals that can be rendered so there should be one that is close to the spiral you have.
Any point on the spiral is found as follows
x = cos(angle) * f(angle) + origin.x
y = sin(angle) * f(angle) + origin.y

where f is the poly f(x) = Ax^P+C
The following function draws a basic linear spiral f(x) = 1*x^1+0.1
function drawSpiral(origin) {
    ctx.strokeStyle = "black";
    ctx.lineWidth = 3;
    ctx.beginPath();
    let i = 0;
    while (i < 5) {
        const r = i + 0.1; // f(x) = 1*x^1+0.1
        ctx.lineTo(
            Math.cos(i) * r + origin.x,
            Math.sin(i) * r + origin.y
        );
        i += 0.1
    }
    ctx.stroke();
}

Solve to pass though point
To solve for a point we convert the point to a polar coordinate relative to the origin. See functions pointDist , pointAngle. We then solve for Ax^P+C = dist in terms of x (the angle) and dist the distance from the origin. Then subtract the angle to the point to get the spirals orientation. (NOTE ^ means to power of, rest of answer uses JavaScripts **)
To solve an arbitrary polynomial can become rather complex that is why I used the simplified version.
The function A * x ** P + C = pointDist(point) needs to be rearranged in terms of pointDist(point).
This gives x = ((pointDist(point) - C) / A) ** (1 / P)
And then subtract the polar angle x = ((pointDist(point)- C) / A) ** (1 / P) - pointAngle(point) and we have the angle offset so that the spiral will intercept the point.
Example
A working example in case the above was TLDR or had too much math like jargon.

*

*The example defines a spiral via the coefficients of the radius function A, C, and P.

*There are 3 example spirals Black, Blue, and Green.

*A spiral is drawn until its radius is greater than the diagonal distance to the canvas corner. The origin is the center of the canvas.

*The point to intercept is set by the mouse position over the page.

*The spirals are only rendered when the mouse position changes.

*The solution for the simplified polynomial is shown in steps in the function startAngle.
While I wrote the code I seam to have lost the orientation and thus needed to add 180 deg to the start angle (Math.PI) or the point ends up midway between spiral arms.

const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
const mouse  = {x : 0, y : 0}, mouseOld  = {x : undefined, y : undefined};
document.addEventListener("mousemove", (e) => { mouse.x = e.pageX; mouse.y = e.pageY });
requestAnimationFrame(loop);

const TURNS = 4 * Math.PI * 2;
let origin = {x: canvas.width / 2, y: canvas.height / 2};
scrollTo(0, origin.y - innerHeight / 2);
const maxRadius = (origin.x ** 2 + origin.y ** 2) ** 0.5; // dist from origin to corner
const pointDist = (p1, p2) => Math.hypot(p1.x - p2.x, p1.y - p2.y);
const pointAngle = (p1, p2) => Math.atan2(p1.y - p2.y, p1.x - p2.x);

const radius = (x, spiral) =>  spiral.A * x ** spiral.P + spiral.C;
const startAngle = (origin, point, spiral) => {
    const dist = pointDist(origin, point);
    const ang = pointAngle(origin, point);
    // Da math
    // from radius function A * x ** P  + C
    // where x is ang
    // A * x ** P + C = dist
    // A * x ** P = dist - C
    // x ** P = (dist - C) / A
    // x = ((dist - C) / A) ** (1 / p)
    return ((dist - spiral.C) / spiral.A) ** (1 / spiral.P) - ang;
}
// F for Fibonacci
const startAngleF = (origin, point, spiral) => {
    const dist = pointDist(origin, point);
    const ang = pointAngle(origin, point);
    return (1 / spiral.P) * Math.log(dist / spiral.A) - ang;
}
const radiusF = (x, spiral) =>  spiral.A * Math.E ** (spiral.P * x);
const spiral = (P, A, C, rFc = radius, aFc = startAngle) => ({P, A, C, rFc, aFc});
const spirals = [
    spiral(2, 1, 0.1),
    spiral(3, 0.25, 0.1),
    spiral(0.3063489,0.2972713047, null, radiusF, startAngleF),
    spiral(0.8,4, null, radiusF, startAngleF),
];

function drawSpiral(origin, point, spiral, col) {
    const start = spiral.aFc(origin, point, spiral);
    ctx.strokeStyle = col;

    ctx.beginPath();
    let i = 0;
    while (i < TURNS) {
        const r = spiral.rFc(i, spiral);
        const ang = i - start - Math.PI;
        ctx.lineTo(
            Math.cos(ang) * r + origin.x,
            Math.sin(ang) * r + origin.y
        );
        if (r > maxRadius) { break }
        i += 0.1
    }
    ctx.stroke();
}
loop()
function loop() {
    if (mouse.x !== mouseOld.x || mouse.y !== mouseOld.y) {
        ctx.clearRect(0, 0, 500, 500);
        ctx.lineWidth = 1;
        drawSpiral(origin, mouse, spirals[0], "#FFF");
        drawSpiral(origin, mouse, spirals[1], "#0FF");
        ctx.lineWidth = 4;
        drawSpiral(origin, mouse, spirals[2], "#FF0");
        drawSpiral(origin, mouse, spirals[3], "#AF0");
        ctx.beginPath();
        ctx.lineCap = "round";
        ctx.lineWidth = 7;
        ctx.strokeStyle = "red";
        ctx.lineTo(mouse.x, mouse.y);
        ctx.stroke();
        Object.assign(mouseOld, mouse);
    }
    requestAnimationFrame(loop);
}
canvas { position : absolute; top : 0px; left : 0px; background: black }
<canvas id="canvas" width = "500" height = "500"></canvas>

UPDATE
As requested in the comments
I have added the Fibonacci spiral to the example

*

*The radius function is radiusF

*The function to find the start angle to intercept a point is startAngleF

*The two new Fibonacci spirals are colored limeGreen and Yellow

*To use the Fibonacci spiral you must include the functions radiusF and startAngleF when defining the spiral eg spiral(1, 1, 0, radiusF, startAngleF)
Note the 3rd argument is not used and is zero in the eg above. as I don't think you will need it


The Raynor Apollo MM9500 and MM95SL offer executive level looks and all day comfort at a manageable price. Both models offer a multifunction mechanism but the Raynor MM95SL adds a seat slider for seat depth adjustment that is important for shorter and taller people, or in a corporate setting where the chair may seat many people over its lifetime.
MM95SL offers a seat slider, back, and seat angle adjustments.
MM95SL fits 5'1" - 6'2"

As a native Zhuang people of Tianyang, I had realized that there is a very important festival of our own in my hometown and it always happens from the 7th to 9th days of the third lunar month every year since I was still a little girl, but actually never had I been on the scene personally due to the strict school regulations (It's hard to ask for leave except getting ill, I mean). So what I have in mind about the festival all the time is just a sentence summarized from bitty descriptions of others: Tens of thousands of people from my county and our vicinity go to Ganzhuang Mountain to worship Buluotuo (Creator of Zhuang) and hold a folk song fair there on the three days every year. In a word, this festival was just a festival known to only tens of thousands of people before it was announced to be National Cultural Heritage of China and a live telecast of it was broadcast to the world by CCTV 4 in April of 2006.

Marian, Madame Librarian
14 January 2010 on future, libraries, reading
My son is currently performing in the Children's Theatre of Annapolis production of the Meredith Wilson musical The Music Man, and Nick and I are working tech for the show. Today, we did two school shows; several schools brought students in on busses to see the show. As the curtain opened on the library scene for the song, "Marian the Librarian," it occurred to me that although the musical was written in the 1950s, and set in 1912, the set would be instantly recognizable to the kids in the audience as a library. The shelves with books, the checkout desk, the tables for reading: all these things look pretty much like a library today, with only the notable absence of computers and videos as the primary difference. (Although the sets were created by modern people, who may have brought 2009/2010 sensibility to their creation, presumably they were created with an eye towards authenticity.)
That then started me thinking, will kids 20 years from now be able to recognize it as a library as easily? What will a library look like 20 years from now? Will it even have shelves of books? (I personally think it will, although if current trends are any indication, the section of the library devoted to shelves of books may shrink).
Will it have a checkout desk? It actually may not. My library already has self-checkout, and my grocery store allows me to pick up a scanner at the entry and scan and bag my groceries as I move through the store. It's not hard to imagine that in 20 years, or even much less, libraries will have some kind of auto-checkout that will take place when you walk out the door, using RFID codes in the books and in your library card.
Will the library of the future have tables and chairs for sitting? I think it probably will. I like to think that the library of the future will still be a gathering place and a study place and a research place, and maybe even a reading place, all of which are activities that encourage the use of tables and chairs.
What about you? What do you think the library of the future will look like?
