        Some go there for internet access, and some still prefer to read books and newspapers the old-fashioned way, and for free.

              All those who don't drive trains need to have access to all the technology we have today.

              Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

              You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

                  We have one a block from the house and take the kids all the time. I'm trying to teach them that there are things outside of technology that provide entertainment, education, and so forth.

                      I never went much, but the wife goes all the time. Now that she has a tablet she can download books from them.

                      There is something about holding a book/magazine in your hands and turning the page.

                        I like the way you rock your pimp hand, Sean.

                        I've banned phones from the dinner table, during TV time (movies, sporting events) at my house. I get any lip and I will put my brass headed Snap-On hammer to those phones I paid for.

                            Looks like there are a few of us that think this way. Nothing I hate worse than to see a family out for dinner and see any of them texting or talking on their phone, parents included.

                            recently, we saw a family out for a meal and each of the 3 kids had their own dvd player going, during dinner! family was just sitting there, not talking!

                            As far as the Library, I think theyll be around a while. I dont see the need for them totally disappearing. I still go for a nice quiet study place if I need one. I also still borrow a book from them from time to time.
