Problem with that, is many small spaces may cost more than a few larger places. Plus, it would not be very convenient for many people. Say you wanted to check out book X, you'd have to track down where it was first. Most current libraries have most books, a small location inside of some place else couldnt have many books.

The county I used to live in rejected a bond to get a library.
