Although libraries are still popular, I don't know if the libraries that you and I knew as kids can remain relevant without some major changes to address changing technology. Some of them are doing a good job by providing public computers and WIFI as well as web-based resources. I wish that kids today could feel the same awe and magic that I felt as a kid, spending hours at a time in my local library.
