Digital medias.

well i'm sad to say but i think libraries are out dated. they are great for research and for use in schools and colleges. i have yet to set foot in a library after i graduated from college.

book stores are another thing. i still like going to a book store. i still buy physical books....though i'm contemplating signing up for audible. i drive a lot now for work, and audio books seems like a good way to kill time while i'm sitting in ugly LA traffic.

every now and then i might buy a digital book, but it has been a year or two since i last bought one.

It has been around a few years since I stepped into my local one. I think they are also out dated anyways.

i will say this....as i drive around the streets of LA, i see a lot of kids and older folks hanging out and around the various city libraries, so it seems like there is still a function for them.....just not for me, i guess.

my friends grandparents still rents movies and audio books from their local library.
My brother in law always goes there, kind of irony though on how he gets books through Amazon.com, I am assuming they do not have his physics books over there.

Libraries. I love libraries!
Whoever the architect is for our local branches lately he likes glass and light.
Not as many books as I remember though
Ours is a massive fan of space, and stairs, there is still like a multi teir level from what I can remember.
It has been sometime ago since visited up there.
