Thing #2

I read most of everything linked to this 'thing' and am still a little confused. I know that libraries
are going to have to continue moving into the future with technology in order to keep the younger
generation coming, and at the same time keeping it a place for the rest of us to come. I surely hope that there will always be us who might prefer the printed word in the form of a book or some
other kind of 'hard copy'. The library is not only a place to find information, but a meeting place and and place to dream of things outside ourselves through the stacks of books available.
There is nothing better than seeing children come into the library and be totally enthralled by the
shear numbers of books available. I can't see that changing, so there will always be a need for
libraries to be as they were along with all the technology.
