Paper presents an investigation of the cross-cultural use and usability of interaction metaphors by studying the library metaphor. The ethnographic study was conducted on the Maori people of New Zealand, by examining their culture, form of knowledge transfer and use of physical and digital libraries. It points out why and when the library metaphor fails these users.
