According to <strong>Libraries See Opening as Bookstores Close<\/strong> &#8211; NY Times December 27th article by KAREN ANN CULLOTTA &#8211; &#8220;<em>As librarians across the nation struggle with the task of redefining their roles and responsibilities in a digital age, many public libraries are seeing an opportunity to fill the void created by the loss of traditional bookstores.<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The library will always be a space with books, knowledge resources (librarians), training, programs and quiet reading spaces. However, the spaces being allocated to books are being redefined, which makes our work challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Books are still and will always be a knowledge tool of choice for many people. We recognize this fact as we plan tomorrows library collections. We also plan that libraries will be MakerSpaces and Culture Houses and Bookstores of the future. These strategies will continue to be priorities in our planning for 2013.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The &#8216;library is a place&#8217; that should offer culture, knowledge tools and space to use for digital bits and physical atoms.<\/strong> Indeed, it will need to support all options for research.<\/p>\n<p>The new library plan for the NYPL is a very exciting concept with new space designed for learning activities. The big challenge for the NYPL is to create a blended learning environment, not just a vast open room full of computers, but also spaces with books, media and historical resources. Flexible areas with movable partitions and bookstacks with books to check out need to be integrated into Foster&#8217;s plan.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the link below &#8211; it is an impressive flyover of the new library planned for NYPL by Norman Foster&#8230;<br \/>\n<a title=\"nypl library plan\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NYPL &#8211; Library Plan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Library is still defined as a place that holds knowledge.
