The usual hook about libraries in decline, soon to be extinct, etc. (will journalists ever find a fresh angle?), but overall a good summary of the issues.

And a great quote from Wendy Newman:

• Libraries are not in a terminal state of decline, "they're not even sick....Libraries are back big-time, they're having a renaissance."
