In relations to whether we should have books or kindles, I would take a book 100% of the time.noralrioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874792942257618786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465055784883205199.post-76090308019492374802011-11-23T21:35:02.950-08:002011-11-23T21:35:02.950-08:00I agree.

I have a kindle which I love, but I still can't resist purchasing a book whether at Barnes and Noble or at Half Price book store or even just checking some out at the public library. I also agree about some forms of books with diagrams. I would much prefer to read those in print form. I may love technology and to be able to carry many books at one time, but I also still love having a bookshelf with my favorite books that people will be able to see.Robin Castanonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494592141433375083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465055784883205199.post-2350656814358654642011-11-23T07:23:53.976-08:002011-11-23T07:23:53.976-08:00I work at a Title I School.

At least in our school, many of our students dont have access to computers at home/and parents can't afford to drive them to the public library(tough times). Our school library is the only place where these students have access to books. I can't even afford an ebook. So if our school libraries ever convert to ebook libraries many of our economically disadvange students would not have access to these ebooks. One can just imagine how this will affect the people and commuinty.ansanchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600517042796600643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465055784883205199.post-90520945339074404432011-10-30T13:46:57.142-07:002011-10-30T13:46:57.142-07:00I completely agree with you.

Personally, I have a Nook and I love it but that doesn't stop me from purchasing books from my local book store. I LOVE the smell of a new book and know many students that love to go into the library to relax and leave their worries for a later time. Technology is great but nothing beats a good monograph!<br /><br />Nallely LS5385.07Nallelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17394605631487222725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465055784883205199.post-23718488883108137622011-10-30T07:29:32.622-07:002011-10-30T07:29:32.622-07:00Well said.

My purpose as a school librarian is to instill the love of reading in my students and encourage self-selection. They don't necessarily get that in the classroom or anywhere else. Especially not a computer or e-reader screen.Mancie Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06352519021242473743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465055784883205199.post-48516293652256899012011-10-29T19:30:28.803-07:002011-10-29T19:30:28.803-07:00In the name of trying to move into the technologic...In the name of trying to move into the technological future, we risk losing the abilty to socialize and question face to face. Losing the "public" space of a library in schools deprives students of interactions, socialization, and of learning opportunities. To be engaged, students need variety. Technology is not the only type of variety out there. We need to embrace both worlds.Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00130947567798625977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465055784883205199.post-20816956289908505102011-10-29T19:25:54.392-07:002011-10-29T19:25:54.392-07:00Amen.Amen.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15946151342836628484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465055784883205199.post-35631260187696132052011-10-27T18:26:31.915-07:002011-10-27T18:26:31.915-07:00I agree.
