Timberland Regional Library needs Levy Lift

I used to love going to the library, until the Internet arrived. The distribution of books in the digital age has become quicker and cheaper. At some point you have to ask yourself, why are we warehousing books. Shouldn't a library change with the times and adapt to a different model? Perhaps you checkout a digital copy of a book and we have 'virtual' libraries.

If a service can't support itself, it needs to change. No way do I want to support a tax increase for a service that is stuck in the past. Amazon is getting ready to release the Kindle 2 -- it's my library.
