数百图书馆被划入关闭之列，大家难道就真的不再去图书馆了吗？这对图书馆而言意味着什么呢？以下是摘自网友们的不同意见：

◆ Libraries are not simply bookstores where the price-tag always reads zero. They exist to collect, sometimes create, but always 3)preserve that knowledge, regardless of what format it is in and to help make it grow through advocating and assuring free and fruitful access to it.
◆ I see the exact opposite. Libraries have got a 4)vibrant future. Communities need libraries more than they ever have done before and they are in a 5)superb position to help during difficult economic times.
◆ I get really 6)fed up with the people who believe the entire idea that we’re not going to read in libraries. Those people who say “we don’t need libraries because it’s all on Google” either don’t understand libraries or don’t understand the internet at all.
◇ 图书馆不仅仅是书籍资料永远零售价的书店，图书馆的存在，还为了搜集知识，有时能创造知识，而永恒不变的是让知识得以保存，不管其为什么形式，图书馆宣扬知识传播的重要性，确保大众自由有效地获取知识。
◇ 我认为图书馆绝不会走向末路，而且还会有一个光辉未来。当今我们的社会比起以往更需要图书馆，在经济寒冬的氛围下，图书馆具有绝佳的资源助我们重整旗鼓走出困境。
◇ 现在很多人深信我们以后就不会到图书馆里借阅图书了，我真受不了那些人。他们会说“所有东西都可以在谷歌上查得到，我们不再需要图书馆了”，其实他们对图书馆的理解相当有限，要不就是根本不懂互联网的实质。

◆ In a world where everything is digital, will they actually have anything left to lend? If all e-books were available to everyone at any time, why would anyone need to buy a book ever again? And why would anyone need to visit a library if it could be downloaded off-site?
◆ The whole point of having an e-book is that I can get one wherever I am, whenever I want. That’s very convenient.
◇ 现在这个世界一切都是数码化的，图书馆还剩下些什么可以外借的？如果每个人都能随时获取所有电子书资源，那还有谁需要再买什么书呢？既然都可以从网站上下载电子书，谁还用去图书馆呢？
◇ 电子书的存在意义就在于我可以随时随地将其下载到手。那是非常方便的。
