1. Are books losing importance as a source of information and entertainment? I don't think so!
2. Are e-books the death of paper books? Will paper books disappear? I don't think so. I'll read either, but if I'm purchasing, I prefer to have a physical book. My brain still hasn't completely accepted "digital possessions" as the way.
3. Should libraries focus on improving their technological resources rather than building a larger collection of paper books? I think both are necessary. There are large swaths of the population that don't have access to technological resources, or wouldn't want to e-borrow.
4. How important are early reading skills in a child’s academic performance? I think it's pretty critical since being able to read is an expected skill in school.
5. Are people who spend a lot of time reading fiction wasting their time which could be better spent doing more useful activities? What was that? Sorry, I was busy reading. ;)
