and how long do you think it will take for libraries to die out?
Funding is already going down because the use of library’s is down.
does anybody think that the internet is going to be the death of public libraries?

I sure hope so, as soon as possible. Librarians are 99% of the time: bitches.

Nope will never happen there will always be intelligent people who enjoy and use their public libraries. You should try a book sometime you might like it.

yes i think that the internet is going to be the death of public libraries. i live in turkey and there aren’t any public libraries. there are some but only 2-4 libraries in İstanbul (i guess) and internet is very riskyy for libraries…you can find anything you want with just one click…you don’t have to get help from a woman to find a book…:D

No , because people still go to the library for use of the Internet.
And there are somethings you just gotta the library for.

Ohhh, that wouldn’t be good.
I don’t think the ‘net will put libraries out of business.
Libraries are free and everyone on the ‘net wants $$$$$

no …i think they will work side by side

Not here in USA, the reference desk has a very highly trained woman or man to help you, The atmosphere is wonderful, the smell is delightful. You meet friends ,make new ones. what they have to offer is sort of like the old country store in the early frontier days. A meeting place. I love ours.

I hope not,because I can’t go without reading a book.Whether I purchase it,borrow it from the library,or steal it from my family.Well, not steal but borrow and not return it.LOL

NO!! I do not think libraries will die out. the Internet just can not provide things that the libraries have available.

I SINCERELY HOPE NOT
THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE SMELL OF A LIBRARY
AND THE ODOR OF BOOK’S.THE FEEL OF THEM IN ON E’S HAND. IT’S VERY PERSONAL, NOT AT ALL LIKE THE INTERNET. I HOPE THEY CAN LIVE SIDE BY SIDE

Yes they should die out, in our area a vote just came out to raise money for the county library, I voted NO, the Internet has it all and when I use to go to the library I always choked on the smell inside, people sit there and let gas all day, plus most books are so old and the info so old it is not worth while to go there.

No. The Internet is useful for research but I doubt regular authors will start putting all their books online instead of hard copy books. I really hope they don’t die out. I imagine taking my kids to the library to check out books like my mom did with me. I’m not just going to let my kids stare at a computer screen to read stories.
