The role of the library has been changing for centuries. From keeper of information, to educator, to supporter of education, to supporter of culture and cultural activities. Adapting procedures to keep up to date to the community where it functions. Using available resources and technology.
Lots of speculation about the library of the future.
There will be high-tech libraries and virtual libraries, mainly in Europe, America and other developed countries.
But there will still be libraries with paper books, often outdated, no computers, no electricity, run by enthusiastic librarians hoping to contribute to the quality of life of people in their community.
Again illustrating how important it is to keep up to date with the requirements and needs of the community, library users and general public.
Making the essence of Library 2.0, namely “providing users with the opportunity to help with the development of new services and to maintain existing services” applicable to traditional and modern libraries.
