　　(2016·江西赣州高三摸底考试)In September of 2017, residents of Bexar County celebrated the opening of the Biblio Tech Library. It is one of the first libraries in America to go completely digital and perhaps it will lead the way for others to follow. To check out a book in this digital library, users link their library card to the 3M Cloud Library App. Then they can look through the library catalogue and check out a total of five books at any given time. When the books are due, they are automatically removed from the e­reader. Biblio Tech offers free tablets, laptops and computers which can be used within the library. It also offers study rooms and lounge areas where people can work together and other libraries are also on the trend.

　　Despite the move towards digital, the Biblio Tech Library is currently the only digital library in the nation. However, the bookless library has been attempted before. Sadly, this change proved to be far too ahead of its time. Within a few years, the library began providing materials along with the digital materials due to requests from the library members.

　　Libraries are in the middle of a great change. Just a decade ago, the main focus was to lend materials to the public, but recently they have been placing more emphasis on programs to help and educate the community. A library is no longer simply a place to check out books.

　　Digital libraries are the future. In the next 100 years or so, books in print may be completely replaced by their digital competitors. While these can be more convenient for libraries and library members, I am still going to be fond of books in print. I will miss the smell of the paper, because those are things I grew to love about readings.
