Shout It Out for Your Library!

**is it for the adults themselves or for the kids and the new generation? **

Both. Such a binary choice is a false distinction.

Libraries are dead, and all of the library supporters should die.

LONG LIVE TEH INTERWEBZ!

What? The Lakeland (Florida) Public library banned me for life for teaching children chess last month. The librarian thought it was odd I took an interest in fellow humans.
No due process, no right of appeal. The City Counsel refuses to hear my complaint.
I will never support a library in America again!

did barbara dead?

The last time I shouted it out for my library they kicked me out!

there is nothing like reading a real book. text on your computer screen cannot compare.
and even people who can't afford internet access CAN go into a library and read. there's no sense in ranting online saying "down with libraries," they are a crucial part of our society.

I agree with you, libraries are institutions for all ages, but especially for the newer generations. And my comment about not caring and ignorance is for those who claim they dont need libraries and will use google instead. But I do stand firm on my example of the Declaration, it is items like this that make the NYPL such an important and influential place in NYC. It is history and education at its finest. It is great when any person can see important document face to face.

I think this is hysterical people going off about the library. But I must admit I do agree with parakletos5417 and IIViperStrikerII, libraries are important for everyone and should remain open. But Viper is right, kids are the ones who need them most, maybe they should do a kid's video saying why its important. And btw, I didnt know google got their books or some info from the NYPL, intresting.

i love google
