Monday morning, our library director joined a panel of fellow administrators for a discussion about the future of libraries for our local public radio's "Charlotte Talks" program. Entitled " Libraries and Books in the Digital Age" that show asked how books are keeping up with the changing times and demands from the public with the growing preferences for download able items (books and information) and e-book devices.
Library director Charles Brown said he felt despite the interest in newer technology that print books would still keep its audience. He noted how he still sees young children fascinated with holding and using books and that there are still upcoming new book titles which draw a big adult audience (i.e., the new Dan Brown book, The Lost Symbol).
