Thing 31 Future Libraries

I am very surprised. I actually agreed with the speaker. In most articles about the future of libraries the speaker is full of doom and gloom. About how there will not be books any more and we will not be needed. Since I have hoped that was not the case I was very pleased to hear someone say that we are doing a good job and that we CAN have a place in the future of our communities. I enjoyed the humor also. I usually hear what a person is saying much better if there is some humor involved. We constantly have to stay ahead of the patrons in what they need and want and I think that we sometimes need a reminder of that, but most of all we need to be told that we can and that we are doing a VERY good thing for our communities.
