Comment on Editorial: Why spend $50 million on the “last library?” by Dave Morgan
Barbara, it’s statements like “get your money’s worth instead of trying to find your information on the internet” that shuts down dialog, instead of nurturing it. It is exactly that “old school” approach to change that doesn’t work in the public arena. It never has and it never will. Change is whipsawing our society as we speak here. And it serves no one’s benefit to talk like something new cannot be possibly better than what we already have. We embrace change by investigating new opportunities it brings. As ever, those opportunities are endless. And our perspective must change with them.
As you know, world history is replete with the debris of ideas, paradigms and old buildings that no longer work. Intellectual honesty demands a fearless investigation into all elements of anything, public or private, to ensure that we all can claim, with a straight face, we still have a brain. That goes for reducing our carbon footprint as well as examining whether we want to build “the last library.”
