I agree 100% personal development is a must for any human being wanting to excel at life. If we all focused on this the world would be a better place. I have been dedicated to personal development for almost 10 years and it feels good to read some new content. Keep up the good work and feel free to post a comment and sitelink on my personal development blog. Thanks -David http://www.motivationandhappiness.com Great article.

I am not a technical person & do not look forward to libraries becoming more technical, even though they will be more efficient. I prefer my library just the way it is.

Especially the whole "all technologies end" bit. While it's certainly true that certain things do go the way of the dinosaur, other things persist when people thought they would go away. People thought that movies would spell the end for live theater. They also thought television would mean that going out to the movies was a thing of the past. Neither proved to be true. Each one has since been asknowledged as an artform in its own right. And while certain things become less popular, often they just end up finding a niche audience that likes and respects them. Oral storytelling or even comic books, for example. Maybe you're right and maybe you're not. However, I wouldn't count the printed book out just yet. After all, no one can really forsee the future.

Therefore it´s up to the governments or municipalities to maintain good libraries. E-Books certainly are very convenient but it is not the same as a hard copy book! Here I think that libraries will not lose much of their attraction. Libraries play an elementary role in the education of people.
