I think in a few years this principal is going to be banging his head against the wall, wondering what ever possessed him to make such a stupid move, at least I hope he does. <br /><br />I don't see how he can think that books aren't relevant anymore. One look at the parking lot at the Canton Public Library - that is full just about everyday, and it is clear that people are still using books!Beth S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06944635942712994937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202949130902554989.post-29394862358039358552010-04-19T20:15:10.874-04:002010-04-19T20:15:10.874-04:00I personally learn less when trying to read an ebo...I personally learn less when trying to read an ebook and if I have the option I do try to print them out. I buy a lot of homeschool ebooks for geography and I always print the whole thing and decided what I'm gonig to us later. <br /><br />Books are relevant but I wonder if the digital age and the discard of things like libraries hurts us more than anything. The other day I was at the library when a local kid asked me what it meant when it said his book on Ireland was in 976.4H. He had no idea how to find this book at all and I was horrified. I had to show him where it was. I don't know...digital is great but I don't think we should take the basic library skills away from kids either.Kelleynoreply@blogger.com
