The Possible End of Libraries

Public Libraries are one of the most underfunded public institutions and face the most external threats to their staying around. While Libraries are enjoyed by the public they are in many cases no longer as useful as they once were, now in competition with encyclopedia sites online such as Wikipedia and Ebooks for cheaper prices. Working with a Public Library, (particularly a struggling one in a small community) will provide me a clearer picture to how Public Libraries are adapting to the more technology needs of the people and how they operate and receive funding.
