Federally funded. They won’t go away. There are still plenty of neanderthals out there without access to a computer.

They will survive.
The public ones in towns/metros that have at least a couple of
universities/colleges...they are the hang-out of choice for retired
profs (beside the faculty clubs), as well as the demographic of
university students that spans from grad school graduates to
freshmen washouts that never seem to leave.


BUT, on college/university campi...libraries will show you how
something can survive for eternity...even when it's long ago
outlasted it's real mission.

Sauron,
You’re full of it love. The I love going to the libraries and they’re never empty.

Agree about LIBRARIES but how about TRAVEL AGENTS? They’re fading away fast too.

An outdated institution can last for years with public funding - - your tax dollars at work .

It’s fun to browse through shelves and shelves of dusty old books. Much more fun that searching online!


Sometimes finding that obscure tome is only part of the experience.
