One Washington Post blogger's question received some attention.
Random Friday Question: Do We Need Libraries Anymore?

I am impressed by the sheer volumes of responses. I wasn't able to read all of them, but the good many that I read were heavily in favor of keeping libraries open. Many commenters made excellent points, including their costs savings of checking out books instead of buying them, particularly for their kids; the Internet access for those who can't afford it otherwise; the help the librarians give them; access to better quality, more reliable information; and a peaceful place to read and study.
Hmmm...I see a great marketing campaign somewhere in this...
