It is still there and a new library was built a block or so away.Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642843245634635843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-19529438735234376532011-08-01T23:12:09.762-05:002011-08-01T23:12:09.762-05:00I had an odd thought recently... with the demise o...I had an odd thought recently... with the demise of book stores and the rise of e-books, Kindles and such, I am wondering what libraries will be like 50 - 100 years from now? Will they even exist? Will they remain free? For some reason I am not looking forward to the change.Robert the Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863488312604865183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4713908623268184440.post-44475380397062248662011-08-01T10:00:29.214-05:002011-08-01T10:00:29.214-05:00I would love a library so close.
