Web 2.0, Library 2.0 and the future of libraries [Thing #15]

As far as I am concerned, Library 2.0 is completely necessary to the development of libraries as we know them. Things are not what they were 20 years ago, and I believe that changing with the times is vital to the survival of the public library. The number of people that come to the library just to use the computer is amazing, and probably getting higher all the time. It is hard to imagine that books will ever become totally obsolete, but at the same time, online resources are becoming more and more available. If the library is not constantly keeping up with technology, I am afraid that after a certain amount of time then we will no longer be able to do our job.
