"I found this article to be quite naive regarding library services.
For starters, the Google Book project is not, even in my lifetime, going to have the contents of every book. To portray it as such is misleading as best.
Secondly, the library world as a whole serves a varied commnity of people, many, many of whom will never own a computer, Ipod, or other such device.
The library should explore and continue to offer digital services; indeed now you can look up information on online databases (much too expensive for the common person); read an ebook; download an audio book, etc. TCCL will no doubt continue to do so, while they also attend to the needs of the person who prefers a book.
I would invite Mr. Guthrie to shadow a library at a busy public library someday, and see if his theory still stands.
