text: I am an avid iPad user and read eBooks all the time.  But, there are time when I just want to go to the library, just to browse and find books that aren't on the eBook list.  Plus, I love to browse the magazine shelves, look at newspapers, and look at Cd's I can borrow.  Then, there are the children's book my grand-kids love, as well seeing people who don't have access to computers using the ones in the library.  I don't go as often as I used to, but I still treasure our libraries.  And, even in the face of the on-line onslaught, the staff is still super. 
  
  Further, I have to disagree with Bernie, 600.  The Abbotsford, BC Library still has study or quiet rooms, and the staff are there to help.  I have gone there to work on university papers when I couldn't focus at home, then had to fight the urge to browse. 
  
  Libraries Forever!!
