Computers Are No Threat to Libraries

* In response to Simi Valley Mayor Greg Stratton, who thinks that libraries will be phased out in 10 or 20 years and become museums, I would like to forecast that people will instead get up stiff and tired from sitting in front of their computers and will take an important biography, a fine novel or an authoritative book on some subject they are interested in from the library, sit in a comfortable chair with feet up or take such a book on a trip or even read it in bed.

Children will be tired of sitting in one place and will run to the library to be with other children to hear a story told or sit on the floor and page through the many colored picture books.
