Biography Children’s Literature
September 7th, 2010
Question: I don't think this will happen, but do you think the Internet will ever completely replace libraries?
Of course, I think we can all agree that the reference department of libraries is pretty much a ghost town nowadays, since, as far as pure factual information, just about all of that can be found on the Internet. But I think libraries are still very much alive, and always will be, in areas such as children's literature (children's story time with librarians reading picture books to children), fiction books being checked out by people who don't want to buy them, and nonfiction (such as history books, autobiography and biography, geography and travel books, etc.). I don't think a day will EVER come when people only want to read over the computer and nowhere else. What do YOU think?
Answer: Libraries are not only about books but movies and CDs and access to computers and wifi
and libraries are used as meeting places.
Most people like to hold books and they don't crash. ebooks are likely to take place of textbooks and paperbacks but people will still want dead tree books.(After what happened to Kindle 1984 imagine what changes could be made to the Bible or any other book instantly. Kindle could have the South win the US civil war)
GPS and Google Maps have greatly reduce the use of paper maps.
