I found this NPR story about the Library of Alexandria, and how it survived the current Egyptian protests and revolution, uplifting for several reasons. First of all, the picture of young protesters holding hands surrounding the building to 'protect' it was beautiful. Secondly, this most historic of libraries is clearly keeping up to date with it's 21st first century services and technology, and so is providing information and technologies to help inform the citizens of Alexandria. And this weekend, coincidentally, it's hosting it's annual conference on Reform in the Arab World!
