I used this story when trying to teach a group of retired, and very confused people, how to use a PC.\n\nA little librarian has to get all the information together each time you open a program.  After some time adding new programs and using old ones the librarian has made a mess of the whole library.  When you go to open a program he's got to run around here and there to find the pieces of the program he needs for you to use it.  So once in a while (I do it every day) he has to fix it all up, get all the papers together and file the programs away in alphabetical order so that when you need him to open a program or do anything he can easily pick it off the shelf and it's ready to go.\n\nDefragmenting is organizing all the information on your hard drive and contiguous files are files that are in alphabetical order, nice and neat.

Perhaps if your community provided some alternatives that were appealing, children wouldn't "loiter"  I mean, do you think that anyone prefers standing around doing nothing?\n\nMany public libraries are creating programs for teens/adolescents, designed with input from teens/adolescents. That is an approach worth modeling.

The information is readily available in any reference section of the library. It is a lot of tedious work to find it, but it is all there. They can sell the books because most people can not or will not spend the ttime it takes in the library. It is also posted on most of the govermental agencies websites.

I don't know much about netlibrary but maybe it's because you're using your computer from outside the library...

A library cannot affect you by itself. You affect yourself by your purposes, methods and goals in using it. Our US public libraries are storage and lending points for all kinds of materials; written, audio, video, lyrical, artistic. Much like a great big toolbox. Having tools and a toolbox doesn't do anything. You, the individual, have to use them.\n\nA guitar player can get sheet music, check out performance videos, see what's written on the history of guitars, find manufacturers, read how to repair or build a guitar and watch a video on it, listen to guitar variations from around the world and throughout recorded history and browse the magazine section to see the latest happenings. Probably check his email at the same time. O.K., that's the library for the guitarist.\n\nNow what about the mechanic, the accountant, the householder, the parent, the physician, the student, the teacher, the aged, the young?\n\nEach of them can make their own individual and unique use of library materials. Entertainment. Knowledge. Pleasure. Utility.\n\nLibraries also are center points for some civic activities. Special interest clubs meet there. Lectures are presented. Readings (oral presentations) are done in libraries, live. Sometimes even drama. Socializing is not thought of as a library function, but it can be. \n\nHow does a library affect you positively? You will have to decide that. The meaning of anything is the meaning you give it. If you decide you want no association with libraries, then they'll still have an affect on you -- by depriving you of meeting people you'd like to know who are going there or by enhancing your life by not meeting people you wouldn't like to know who are going there. Even without going, you decide how the library affects you.\n\n(edit)\nI like that first answer. It's fanciful.

Most books are online and there isn't as much need for the physical libraries.  Also, with all of the research that is being done every day, it's important to keep track of journals, publications and research studies which most get through e-mails or to organizations that we pay for.  It's pretty much like any other profession; the internet has changed much of education and ongoing education.

The library should have a book on it. Or check your community college they may have a class.
