I visit my local library once or twice a week. The vast majority of patrons are on library PC's, browsing the DVD's, in study rooms or doing other activities that don't necessarily relate to reading books.
The "library" has become a hive of cultural activity in the internet era.
Its become more than reading books. On the flip side this expansion to other services have put $$$ burdens on many library systems. In fact our mayor in all his wisdom suggested that the library should just do books.
Yes we are in trouble.
