Does anybody visit public libraries anymore? They were important to me all through my childhood, and into the 90s, but I haven't visited one in years. When I moved back to New York, I did get a library card, but it was only because I was downtown and it was extremely cold out, and I wanted to surf the internet a little between job interviews.
I spent a lot of time in academia, and recognize the continued value of that type of library. But what about the public version; what do people use them for nowadays? Do parents still encourage children to read physical books?
Physical books are important to me, but I often buy them. Otherwise, I download PDFs or Kindle versions. A local public library is not going to have many of the titles I am interested in.
