7.25.10 – Popular libraries


I heard on NPR that the new popular trend looks to be public libraries. I’ve never been one to wait for or follow trends, but this one I’m happy about, especially upon hearing that Amazon is now selling more digital copies of books then “real” ones. Nothing really compares to the weight of holding a book in your hand and actually turning the pages (yes, I have seen the iPad, and it doesn’t compare).

I’ve always loved libraries and felt safe there. You never know what you’re going to come across, even now with the library catalogues online there’s still discoveries to be made. I also love the self-checkout.
