- Loughla 4y agoIt's almost like the model, that was outdated, was updated and the concept of library has appropriately changed? Words and concepts are not static; they can and do change often?
- adgjlsfhk1 4y agoThe purpose of a library isn't (only) to store books. It's to distribute knowledge.
- cableshaft 4y agoI still support libraries. I check out books from them periodically (and I do not support book publishers in what they're doing in the linked article). I just also like the additional roles they've taken on and would like to spread awareness so more people check out their local libraries (and possibly also check out books while they do so). A few other things I've done at my local library include foreign language conversation sessions, tutoring an ESL student (that was only a couple of times, pandemic started soon after), attending various lectures, early voting, renewing my driver's registration and sticker, and with my local writing group we've done many write-ins and also periodically had readings of Shakespeare plays using one of their meeting rooms (with some light acting and dueling with foam swords). Also when my previous company closed their office space (before the pandemic), we used to sometimes meet at a meeting room at a library to conduct work meetings. We stopped doing that when the pandemic started.
