The Future

For the last week or so I have been working with a group working on a poster project about what the library of 2025 would be like. Despite the economy and decreasing of library budgets we all had positive outlooks for the future of libraries, which I think is awesome. No matter how bleak the future looks we will always have upbeat librarians, and with upbeat librarians come awesome libraries. We just need to adapt to the changing times and diminishing wallets, in fact librarians and libraries are a great resource to help with just that, we will just have to practice what we preach. And I will just have to accept the fact that at least in the reference section I will not always have a physical book in front of me, though it pains me...dearly. (Not against digitization, I am just not for  removing print resources, I think they are still a valuable tool that is far less corruptible.)
