[Web4lib] Couple of library items on Wired's "100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About"

[Brian Gray]

While card catalogs have been phased out by most libraries already, I have
seen no trends showing the same is happening for books. The article does not
give a specific time line, but it does say "your kids" which means only one
generation. I do not see books go away from libraries anytime soon.
