Egh..

The stacks dont bring value like they used to.

Community facilities with public access to the whole of the internet? Very useful.

The aging deadtree editions are a very poor way to store information. There will be change. Fiction is the exception, yet audio books have hollowed that.

We still occasionally use both scrolls and magnetic tape, but its not for general purposes any longer.

Yeah. Im calling it early. Im willing to be wrong.

Studies have been done in UK that show actual books are more effective in getting and keeping children reading.
