Thing #15

Reading about Library 2.0 makes me think about the unlimited possibilities of Public Libraries. A recent post on Twitter wonders how the recent iPad will change the future of libraries--will the public want more downloadable ebooks? My guess is yes, as the iPad becomes cheaper and easier to use. Some thoughts: how fast will this happen, what will be in impact on libraries and how fast will MCPL adapt? Coincidentally, the CNN RSS feed I have, listed an article about the iPad, stating that there is an app call iBooks, which might put the Kindle out of business.
