Aren’t libraries pretty much obsolete anyway?
“Aren’t libraries pretty much obsolete anyway?”
For some they are as people can now just order whatever book they want online and have it delivered in a day or two, and you can read and download so much information on the internet. But, for research for white-papers, old law, medical and scientific research, etc, a lot of time you are going to have to go to a library.
My grandchildren still go regularly to our local library to check out books to read. Thankfully, we are a small rural county that doesn’t have drag-queen story hour so that resource is still available to them. Years ago, I remember my son bringing home a book and in the back was taped a card showing the names of those who previously checked out the book. (As you can tell this was decades ago). Clearly written out in my young handwriting was my name. That’s a lot of history that book as seen.
I hope libraries do not disappear. There is something about stepping into one and smelling all the old books and thinking of the history and knowledge that is stored for future generations to access.
OBSOLETE! Mr. Wordsworth, you are OBSOLETE.
