Abstract

ABSTRACT One of the most defining characteristics of humanity is our ability to communicate about complex things and in complex ways. Citizens have been so willing to contribute time and money to library endeavors for two reasons: their recognition of the value of libraries to our society and their own love of books. Will the second reason disappear? Will the “love of books” disappear? There is the love of the content of books, and there is the love of books. For those for whom the two are inseparable, the answer must be no, the love of books will not disappear; but perhaps eventually all the people who love books in the traditional format will disappear. That could take a very, very, long time.
