What would the future of libraries be like?

In the article To a Temporary Place in Time by Dr. Wendy Schultz, she points out the topic "what are libraries?" She says," Libraries are not just collections of documents and books, they are conversations, they are convocations of people, ideas, and artifacts in dynamic exchange. Libraries are not merely in communities, they are communities: they preserve and promote community memories; they provide mentors not only for the exploration of stored memory, but also for the creation of new artifacts of memory." The past of library was called Library 1.0 began with Alexandria era. After the emergence of computer, Internet was widely used in library, and modern library was updated to Library 2.0 - "library is everywhere, barrier-free, and participatory. Collaborate with Amazon; provide digital downloads of books; create a global, and globally accessible, catalog; invite readers to tag and comment." In my belief, one of the reasons for library to still exist in our society is that people need such function to enrich their life and to make learning enjoyable. In nowadays, people could easily google information and read books online. Why do they still go to library? How can library survive in this rapidly changable information age? Dr. Schultz's article brings unique insight to my question that library should adapt to modern society by focusing on user-centric services to its partons by changing its vision and massion. Also, the roles of librarianship have to be changed to meet the new mission of library. The six most important traits of librarian 2.0 are listed in another article Into a New World of Librarianship by Michael Stephens. It says, "Librarians 2.0 plans for their users; Librarian 2.0 embraces Web 2.0 tools; Librarian 2.0 controls technolust; Librarian 2.0 makes good, yet fast decisions; Librarian 2.0 gets content." Librarians 2.0 does not seem to be a easy job especially when the library doesn't have enough budget to offer training to everyone and librarians have to self-train themselves in many other ways. On the other hand, it is not realistic to offer detailed training to every staff to promote the skills of Librarian 2.0. How a librarian can train his/her self to reach the high standard of librarian 2.0 is still interesting and unsolved issue. Maybe keeping 7 1/2 habits and becoming lifelong learner is the first step to achieve this goal as we have discussed in the beginning of this training.
