Librarians =)

At my school I used to intern with the librarians and are very close to them. They help me with research and finding that books that I can't. They help seem to know how everything works  in there. I think that librarians are super sweet and I really don't know what they could do even more. In my mind, when I think of a future library I see a lot of technology in the books. I imagine tech books and device so advance that you can just say the name of the book and it will find it for you right away. But to me that's not the kind of library I want.  When I imagine my kind of perfect library I see me sitting in a library with book shelf really long and really high. There are endless number of books in every  shelf. The books may be old, but they all have history to them. I see beautiful walls filled with arts and paintings. And when I open a book I get lost in the contexts of it. I love history and I love a library that looks like it has history.I know it sounds super cheesy, but I've always wanted to go a library like that. I also want to own my very own small library if I ever get the chance. I think that books are history and the key to the future and I hope that it will stay that way.

    Hi there Binh!

    The picture included is a book lover's dream! Unfortunately, as you can see from the relatively small collection of books and journals we hold at the Health Sciences Library, many different types of libraries such as academic, school, and public facilities are moving away from the above model. I myself have moved on to carrying around an e-book reader in my purse rather than one or two books. The role of the librarian is quickly changing and will require a lot of skills in technology and electronics to survive the coming future. I look at books as information and entertainment. As long as the information and entertainment are easily available, I think most of us will be happy!
