I find modern libraries confusing at best. In some respects these changes are good things: libraries are adapting to an increasingly technological world and provide a hub in the community. The technology is also invaluable for the traditional purposes of a library, such as reading and research.

On the other hand, libraries seem to be becoming places that focus upon entertainment rather than information and story telling. The second that children leave those interactive books to access other media, you run the risk of making the jump into pure entertainment. I don't know if this is possible with their setup, but some kids can be creative about circumventing poorly implemented restrictions. Then again, libraries lend out video games these days ...
