When I was growing up in Kansas I remember my home town public library had framed art available for check-out. I'm not sure if the library still does it or if it was just a cool fad of the late 70's/early 80's. Regardless of that it seems that Germany is really into art libraries. Are there any libraries in Oklahoma that have framed art available for check-out?
Libraries that loan Picassos, not Grishams | csmonitor.com: "In Germany, you don't have to shell out thousands of dollars to live with an original Andy Warhol. As you would a book from the library, you can check out original art from one of 140 publicly funded 'art libraries,' or artotheken. Born in the 1960s to increase Germans' contact with art, 'art libraries' are now an established tool of municipal cultural policy, and one which, for many, act as a door opener."
