This document discusses the changing nature of books and libraries in the digital age. It notes that ebooks are outselling print books and will soon outsell paperbacks, and that many library users are now accessing services virtually through mobile devices. It suggests that within three years, the majority of library use, non-fiction circulation, and learning will be virtual. It emphasizes that librarians must help users develop new literacies to navigate this changing information landscape and ensure libraries continue to meet community needs.
