I am pessimistic about libraries, mainly due to two factors.<BR/><BR/> One is the internet, why have a library, when you have the web? <BR/><BR/> The second is bums, who use the internet at the library. Most of them are OK, but quite a few are dangerous or scary.<BR/><BR/> The combination of both of these will make taxpayers less likely to vote funding for libraries. All it takes is one sensational incident with a bum and a kid, and the libraries will have lost their centuries old good reputation. <BR/><BR/> Look what happened to Halloween after the Tylenol poisoning, the holiday never recovered even though it was not even related. <BR/><BR/> I am not saying this is a good thing mind you, but that is what I think will happen. Unfortunately, for my job prospects.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09897371937719228003noreply@blogger.com
