Great story about library digitalization

To the Editor: Kudos to Pamela Chergotis for a great story called “All digital, all the time.” To summarize, it says that our library system, like many before ours, went digital, i.e., available on the Internet any time, any day, even during drizzles. This article exonerates my letter in The Warwick Advertiser in which I’ve stated that building a new library in Warwick is a waste of taxpayers’ funds. I stand corrected. And the proof is in your computer. Go look, it is a cool web site which gives you everything: software, books, music, links to other downloads. And no late fees too. OK, not everybody has a computer and an MP3 player, but it will change, very soon. Think, 10 years ago you thought that your having a 1 gigobyte hard drive was as possible as Iraq becoming a democracy. So technology will catch up and you will see Warwick octogenarians at Stanley Demming Park reading Kafka’s “Metamorphosis” off some kind of old people’s Gooseberry device. See ya in the future.
