Should public (book) libraries be shut down? If used games are harming the industry, well...

so much for preserving history using an actual copy.. i guess library will all be digital too... :( so muich for that old scented acid on a 100 year old book... or the smell of that case when you open a game... i might be old school... but i love those smell!!!!!!!

Libraries don't preserve history.  If they do then our local libraries are doing it wrong.  Libraries routinely rid themselves of books that people no longer read, selling them to patrons.

The intention of a library is to provide access to current fiction/non-fiction and reference/research materials, as well as popular media.

Our libraries here also provide access to an entire library of ebooks.  So, suggesting they can't also provide access to digital copies of games doesn't exactly work.  The question is, will the ability to access those library of games via a library be possible and if so, how?

Libraries should have a copy of the news papers archived. They should also have documents, year books, and others as well
