I know what you're saying, Gayle and I am very greatful for our library.

I use it lots.

I appreciate that we have to move with the times but I still think the priority of a library should be books.......never mind making the space for books smaller and smaller to make way for computers.

I think there was an adequate number of computers before. We don't need more.

I'll reserve judgement on Ossy library until it re-opens but I will be disappointed if the children's section is smaller and the computer area bigger.

It's common knowledge that children are not reading anywhere near as much as they used to but it is getting harder and harder for them to do so when books are not promoted and play second fiddle to computers.
