Please don't return your scrolls to the Book Drop

When I was a small child, our local library was in the dark basement of the County Courthouse. Cold, bleak, uninviting, yet its volumes still held magic that I have never forgotten. The years have passed and today’s library has morphed into an organization scarcely recognizable—yet the magic continues. I’ve thought a lot about this--change, and how things do not stay the same. Will books in their present form cease to exist? Will this technologically advanced world of e books, tablets and other technology eat us alive?
I will admit that I love the feel of a book in my hands. Yet, I own a “smart” device and have downloaded books and other media to it. “All great changes are preceded by chaos.” ~ Deepak Chopra We don’t have to be afraid. Your Public Library is a great place to stay in touch with your ever changing world.
In the distant past, people wrote on scrolls. I don’t see any scrolls lying around today, and we have made it just fine.
