Loss of Books

Ultimately, libraries should be seen as a vital contributor to accessible and free education to all. For years libraries have been a safe haven for those who unfortunately don’t have a suitable setting to study or who are unable to afford books or computers that will help them greatly with their studies. In low income communities, libraries have played a huge role in unifying and providing social services for those who are in need of such. According to the article “Libraries have had their day”, libraries have been acclaimed to be stealing from authors by providing free services; it’s understandable to view such a sentiment in that manner.
In regard to the article “The end of books”, I feel that as long as people are diligently reading and engaging in the books content, we shouldn’t pay mind to the change of it’s medium. Hyperspace, although at times may appear distracting (it can be) does provide the reader with a vast array of outlooks that a unilateral book wouldn’t necessarily provide.
