The library as we knew it is a thing of the past, when I read some of the articles included in 23 Things, I couldn’t help but to think that the library has been unleashed! The library now has to be a user-centered and flexible place, where there are different types of media to be able to keep up with the constant change. Well, does this mean that there will be no more books? The bookless library? Hmmmmm.... interesting!
Dr. Schultz’ article “To a temporary place in time...” was one of favorites – I know she is probably right on, but I felt like I was reading a Sci-Fi article or watching something from the Jetsons. Very good!

A library without books...nope. not going to happen. Think about all the beautiful picture books for young readers...visually stimulating...the whole "new" genre of graphic novels...the explosion of young adult novels. Are you going to see fewer books to make room for the 2.0 tools? Yes. Will there be stacks of big heavy reference books? No...all online. Plenty of books. More choice of how information and stories can be delivered!
