If only they would do away with the stacks and microfilm.. between this and electronic inter-library loan there would be no need to ever go to the library =)

yeah ?
- I don't know the statistics, but my impression is that there is more visitors to the library today then ever. Not sure if we fully understand the important role they play. And people have donated their books for generations, people have supported their local library, but what about the future ? It would be nice to be able to donate your Ebooks, I would imagine. My point is that it does seem that we have come to a new era, in which we may have more questions then answers as how this will play out. But that we span around the world like this, is very exiting. It "kindle" my heart a little
oh - btw. a little twist - the very first Kindle I bought was for someone in the Bay Area, but had to provide some user instructions too - and I ended up here, still trying to figure these things out
Kinda of funny...
