This month's (April 1st) Booklist Magazine has an interesting feature article by Will Manley on Libraries and Bookstores that touches some touchy issues:

Or just Google his name & Booklist to read the full article. He asks some interesting questions, and raises some food for thought:
Q: Are public libraries weeding out the classics to be more like Barnes & Noble? While B&N is adding classics to pick up our slack??? Isn't it ironic?? What is a book's underlying value?? Should libraries be pragmatic in purchasing, or guiltless havens of "the good books" ?
What are your collective thoughts on this gem?? Let me know!
