While bookstores are failing, libraries are thriving

How’s that for a happy subject? “While bookstores are failing, libraries are thriving“… But libraries afford the valuable loan aspect of book reading. In this digital age, some people still want to hold physical books, not tablets, but that doesn’t mean people actually want to buy a print version. Paper versions that only occupy a house for a week, though, are much more likely to be taken home and thus libraries continue to survive in an increasingly online world.
