"It also has implications for how space is used, for library skills, and for how collections are developed."
This quote from the past week's reading confirmed, to an extent, what I believe libraries will become in the future... the 3rd place, a community's place to gather for peace, quiet, socialization and information. Today's "always on" mentality can't be helped--how could it be, with such a constantly connected world? The more connected we become (how much more connected could we get, though?!) the more imperative it will become for libraries to mold themselves around such a constantly growing environment and make themselves indispensable within a society that is quick to disregard anything that cannot be labeled as relevant or convenient. How can libraries best makes themselves relevant and convenient, in all ways?
