OK, I've read about Libraries 2.0, and the future as written looks pretty wide open -- but my question is, who is going to fund all of this change (training, staff, equipment) when across the country local governments are laying off staff and closing libraries? (Not to mention essential public safety services like police and fire.) Also, one of the essayists mentioned a substantial decrease in circulation over the past few years; obviously that librarian doesn't work in a chaotic, demanding, bursting-at-the-seams public library with a growing/shifting population demographic. Bottom line? SHOW ME THE MONEY!
