There has been lots of discussion lately about the role of books and by extension, libraries. The New York Times has summarized some student discussion on its blog. I found it encouraging that many still relish a turn-the-pages paper book. Yay!But then again, these are students who are reading The New York Times! I'm afraid that if the general student population were polled, the discussion would be a bit different! Probably more like the student who suggested that library money would be better spent paying for "proms." (She also suggested spending it on "charities," which, although a nice thought, would be a political hot potato!)
