There is ongoing and sometimes lively debate about the relevance of the Library and the printed word on paper versus the World Wide Web and explosion of information, opinion and spam that can be found via the Internet.
To me, Libraries traditionally meant books, and that is still a huge part of the appeal. But Libraries also are the gateway to the World Wide Web and how to use it to find the right information, or as so often the case with people coming in to use our free APNK computers and wifi services, keep in touch or play games.
The following link was sent to me this morning and it clearly puts the view that the two have their place and can co-exist comfortably side by side. It is from the LA Times and titled A Luddite in the Library. See what you think.
Have a great day.
