Just playing devil's advocate here, but it seems like traditional libraries could be on the way to becoming obsolete. Providing widely available high speed internet would put a lot more information at people's fingertips without having to drive. I can see a need for helping people who don't have computers or good connections with an access point, though. San Antonio and some communities in Georgia have built digital access centers at a fraction of the cost of traditional libraries. I don't know what the public response has been so far. I took the survey, and it pretty much assumes that everyone both uses a library and would want a new one. I used the blank spaces to propose some other options, but I don't know if that's what they want to hear.
