Will libraries survive the 21st century?

CNN has an interesting story on the future of libraries in the Digital Age. Check it out.

Prognosticating about the future of an industry can be tricky. Who knew the Pet Rock would become a hit? But it seems a safe bet that libraries will need to adapt to survive.
Wells County Public Library already does a fine job of integrating digital offerings with traditional library offerings. Rent a DVD, borrow a laptop, research a paper on the Internet. All those things are available right now at WCPL.

But who knows what they might offer next year...
