Here's yet another article that predicts that libraries will start to shut down... It's titled "The birth of the Kindle Tablet and the death of the public library."It is true that when my family, who only recently could purchase one of these e-readers, found that many of the fairy tales were loaded on to the reader for free. We enjoyed reading them but I feel like the death of the public library has been foretold for so long that all public libraries must be dead by now. Although it is true that the number of public libraries are decreasing due to budget cuts, libraries have evolved enough to face new challenges brought on by new competition and new technology. When will the majority get the libraries offer more than fairy tales? It's interesting how some of these articles that are obviously advertising the new gadget think public libraries have so little to offer...
