Libraries=dinosaurs

Public library discarding the classics * Bettnet.com

Dom discusses an article about a library discarding classics because of space. And he wonders if they aren't just leading the way into the digital book age? With tools such as LibriVox and Project Gutenberg and the new Sony Reader, are Libraries ready to be slimmed and trimmed?

And if so, why is Coeur d'Alene still trying to build a mega-million dollar monstrosity at a very inconvenient downtown location? And after seeing some of the art they are considering, I think they maybe should re-think.
