“If we allow library service to be trivialized to the point where it can be performed out of a vending machine, perhaps it won’t be Apple that finally kills the library, it will be librarians.”
I couldn’t agree more. Great statement from James R. Lund at LJ.

Amen! It is not our resources that make us important, but the skills we posses to help our users.
It is our patrons who make use important.
Redbox isn’t a movie theatre yet meets needs of a niche market.
I think it might be good in areas that don’t have libraries , however our library is a place to go and browse, meet people and just enjoy the atmosphere. I would miss our library. I realize we are very spoiled as we can get any book we want in just a couple of days.(((((((((
very nice thank u
