Was Not Common
![Page 3: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Now Ordinary People Have Access to
100,000s of Books

and
What is the Future of

![Page 7: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Pessimistic Scenario:
There Is No Future
![Page 8: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Reading Falls Out of Favor
• Fewer people read for information as video and graphical formats dominate
• The proliferation of mobile devices further reduces reading which requires
more concentration that other information formats
![Page 9: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Both Physical and eBooks are Ignored
• With the decline of reading, physical books and dedicated eReaders
decline in popularity
• General purpose portable devices such as tablets, display glasses
and contacts are preferred

Libraries are Abandoned and Crumble
![Page 11: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Optimistic Scenario:
Nothing Changes
![Page 12: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Reading Remains a Vital, Common Activity
![Page 13: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
New Media Enhances and Increases Reading

Libraries Continue to Be Used and Valued
• The role of the library is still valued.
• Physical books are still preferred by a sizable population segment
• Librarians retain their traditional roles as curators of the library's information
![Page 15: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Most Likely Scenario:
Transformation and Renascence
![Page 16: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
New Media Provide a Compelling Alternative
to Physical Reading Material
![Page 17: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
All Books Are Digitized; Physical Books Are
Rarely Used
![Page 18: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Libraries Transform Themselves From
Providers of Physical Books to Information
Portals and Facilitators

Libraries Educate the Masses on Optimal
Search and Evaluation of Knowledge
![Page 20: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Libraries Facilitate the Social Gathering for
Discussion of Ideas and Literature
![Page 21: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Physical Books Will Become a Status Item
![Page 22: The future of reading and the library public](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555dd77ed8b42aec698b5972/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
