I'll be in Bristol NH this weekend, so I thought I'd check out the library website. It took quite a bit of searching, but I finally found it. It looks like they have a single librarian and are open 5 days a week. One of the advertised features, however, was "3 computers now with access to high speed internet." I wasn't sure if I should chuckle or shoot myself, I've never gone 3 days without internet access since I was probably 12.
Obviously this is a small town public library, not an academic library at a college, but still, how much longer can small public libraries continue to be useful? With amazon.com and shrinking budgets, surely small public libraries cannot cater to the new book interests of everyone.
