 Dr. T's Corner A Lonely Enraged Addict Dr. T 13 Oct 2007 Dr. T is back after a long break and ready to deal with yet another batch of problems.

Influxes of bodies move across flights of stairs. From the attitudes and feelings that accompany a place to the way in which people socially organize themselves spatially, local interactions with the built environment has meant global connections. If any place is connected to the world, it is the library; for it exemplifies how access to technology, maps, books and information ties individuals from one particular location to others seamlessly in unpredictable ways.
