I used to read a book a day, literally. Me, a book and a pile of sunflower seeds, cigarettes and Pepsi. I did that for years until the responsibilities of life caught up with me. I have not cracked a book in years, but is a library without books still a library? No. It's the internet. Or a server packed with .pdfs or similar texts. How many times did I wander the aisles of libraries, looking at books, their titles, their textures and colors? Too many times to count. Eventually I'd find one that floated my boat for that day and I'd take it home, returning it the next day and searching for another.
I never went to college but I did spend a decade reading books of every sort on every subject. I could hold my own in a conversation on virtually anything. How does a catalog on a screen, with titles and maybe a paragraph-long description of the contents of the file compare to the sights, smells, textures and neck-craning search for just the right book. No ogling a pretty woman in the same aisle either! No, sorry.
A repository of digital information is not the same as a library even if the end-contents...the printed words...are identical. Why don't we call these repositories DIC's...Digital Information Centers...and leave the libraries to those places that contain mostly cardboard and paper adventures in learning
