Let's see....if libraries are not necessary because of the digital age, what about teachers? Can't students learn from computers? If you don't need books, you don't need teachers, right? That would save a lot of money. Regardless, libraries are an essential part of a community. Where else can you get that amount of information for free? What if you don't have a computer? You can access one at the library. What if you need tax forms? You can get one at the library. People of all ages use the library. Maybe we don't need a 45 million dollar library, but we still need one. Mr. Swore, you should try the library. It's a great place to visit.
