This was a very thought provoking exercise. Today I went to the library and checked out a few books. The place was humming, no longer quiet, children were waiting for a story show, others were busy on the libraries computers, and still others using wifi with own laptops. Of course people were checking out books too. What is the future of the library? One article I read, starts with 1) Libraries preserve and promote communities. 2) They have a commodity. 3) Product, from there it went on into Web 3D Services and virtual reality. 4) was the Neo library with space for ALL libraries incarnations. This is growth, libraries have to integrate services with the curricula, but alot of the services have to be without training. One big way is by becoming a master learning ourselves (thanks to David Warlick). We must become 21st century literate educators.
