Week 6, Thing 15: Web 2.0

I found the articles To a Temporary Place in Time and Away from "Icebergs" to contain interesting viewpoints on the direction of libraries. I really like idea of the library as an ever evolving community place. I think it extremely important in today's age of Borders and Barnes and Nobles that the public library create a welcoming and comfortable space for the customers. The customers should want to visit the library. Not only that, but the library itself must offer relevant materials and services such as wireless, magazines, books and yes, even a coffee bar. In regards to Rick Anderson's article, I agree that the library must not forget the customers' ability to utilize the technology.
