Learning 2.0

I found the information people had blogged about Learning 2.0 to be intriguing. I think it's great that there are people out there willing to accept that the library needs to change drastically if it wants to survive.

I do believe libraries are moving into survival mode. As a 7th grade teacher of reading and writing, I know that many young people do not enjoy libraries; in fact, many of them may never have visited one. They don't like to read books, but computers offer an entirely different option. They don't mind reading lengthy pieces of information if it's on a computer screen, but print it on actual pages and bind them together...torture.

I know that libraries are important, but that fact seems to be turning into more of an opinion for so many people. We need to give the people what they want how they want it, and do so as quickly as possible. This means major changes, just as the people who wrote the Learning 2.0 blogs suggested. Change is scary, but losing our libraries is even scarier.
