theodp writes "Slate has an interesting photo essay exploring the question of: How do you build a public library in the age of Google, Wikipedia, and Kindle? The grand old reading rooms and stacks of the civic monuments of the past are giving way to a new library-as-urban-hangout concept, as evidenced by Seattle's Starbucks-meets-mega-bookstore central library and Salt Lake City's shop-lined dramatic space. Without some dramatic changes, The Extinction Timeline predicts libraries will R.I.P. in 2019."
