Sign of The Times

I ran across this video recently. It's a tour of my high school library, which there is a plan to remodel.



I note some things
  • The library hasn't changed a whole lot in a quarter century
  • The biggest change seems to be the addition of computers
  • The new proposed changes are essentially even more computers and more space for collaborative work
  • The proposed changes seem to mean that the last of the books will be removed
A library without books may seem strange, but I accept that it's the way of the future. With research materials on-line, there will be less and less need for books. I'm less certain about the focus on "collaborative work." Is it here to stay, or just a fad?
