Lamenting the Library

The March 15th, 2007 issue of the Wall Street Journal discusses the relationship (or lack thereof) between today's young people and libraries. Are libraries still relevant? What is the future of libraries? Can everything be found on the Internet? What is your opinion?

Article is a little scary, thogh I think also a bit premature. The Central Library is always jammed with young people when I'm there . . . .
