Carol Becker inquires: "I would love to hear anyone else's theory as to why R.T. doesn't think libraries should be maintained."
Vicky's opinion: I think it's because books, music, video are becoming virtually free, available anytime, anywhere -- thanks to cutting edge technology. You can print a hardcopy book in your living room now. The libraries of the future will provide access terminals and the best printers available. We don't need the Dewey Decimal System anymore - nor do we need $100 million buildings with heavy payrolls. Megathanks to Bill Gates. Thanks to R. T. Rybak too for the financial discipline.
