Newport Beach, Calif., will close one of its branches and add an "electronic" area to a new community center to replace it. The new space will have computers and access to e-books but no physical books. It seems like a smart move in a struggling economy combined with a changing world of reading.
I'll bet we'll see a lot more of this. What do you think?
