I was just at the Georgia COMO (combined librarian event) as an exhibitor and I'm trying to get my books in the schools and the contacts I made there were probably the best I've made in my 5 years as a published author. I hope this guy online realizes that if it weren't for libraries he wouldn't have the ability to even download any book available save the reference books and those books that will not be converted to ebooks. I hope he walked away with his tail between his legs and admitted his error.<br /><br />Great posting - E :) <br /><br />Elysabeth Eldering<br />Author of FINALLY HOME, a middle grade/YA mystery<br />http://elysabethsstories.blogspot.com<br />http://eeldering.weebly.comelysabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-20379825663672176642012-10-09T11:49:06.488-04:002012-10-09T11:49:06.488-04:00Not to mention all those subscription databases th...Not to mention all those subscription databases that libraries pay for access to, with information not accessible through Google or anywhere else on the web. New York Times back to 1851, scholarly articles, scientific articles - and then there are all those wonderful reference books that are only available in book so far.Kathy Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853773950136365293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-61540627744282551472012-10-09T05:32:58.600-04:002012-10-09T05:32:58.600-04:00Absolutely!

The free library of Philadelphia's website archive was a HUGE help when I was writing my first steampunk novel. I never would have known half of that stuff without it. Wikipedia is NICE, but not always accurate. <br /><br />Libraries rock.

And the children love story time and guest speakers and other things they can't get online. Libraries are necessary. The world will be a sadder place without them. Great post.
