In 20 years will there be such thing as a physical library?

I think there is a good chance that for the most part there won't.

The writer will be able to directly sell his/her work directly to their clients without publishers. Much like the music industry is facing now.

Cities keep building libraries left and right, but I think it has more to do with vote buying and legacy building. San Francisco recently opened a beautiful new library. It is a stunning work of architecture. However they only put about 2 percent of the money into book buying. The material available is a sad joke.

Another sad thing about libraries these days is they are so politically correct. If FreeRepublic was a book, it would be removed.
