Cold Books

Since the beginning of the year, only 170 books have been checked out from the library. That may seem impressive, but once you look at the total number of books in the library, which adds up to roughly 8,000 books, it does not seem as spectacular. This number, when compared to how many laptops are used in the library, is no surprise as there are many digital books available as well as a large number of online class room text books. As time goes on it seems that more and more schools are going digital, and some schools are even going as far as assigning laptops or tablets to each student.

There are those who say schools should all go digital, but there are others who say we should do the opposite, sticking with classic paper. Both sides have their highs and lows, like running low on battery or ripping your paper.
