In the modern age, books are more easily obtained than ever prior, and yet, physical locations to retrieve them are shrinking (similar, in a way, to the closing of movie rental stores). Do you have a local library? How often do you find yourself visiting it, if ever?
I always love the library. Years ago, I would visit it twice a week. Always getting out books & magazines. The occasional movie. As much as I like some technology, one thing that made the library worse is there’s no interaction. At our old one, the people knew me & would always have my books ready as soon as they saw me. We chitchatted about little things. Now, you go to the bookcase, look for your name, go to the scanner & scan your card & the books. No Hello how are you’s. Rarely even talk to anybody. I miss that social connection. So now, the library doesn’t have the same feel for me so I don’t go that often anymore.
