Digital School Library #6

Summary
An elite boarding school in Ashburnham. Their are just spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovating library,even change the well and carpets. This library is different from general library we saw. There is a new cafe where the circulation desk used to be. Before the students stood beside the stacks found books, but now students sit in easy chairs, studying or watching one of the three new flat-screen TVs. School officials had noticed the trend. The student students weren't turning to printed materials for research. instead they were go to online.

Reaction
I have never seen library like that. just in the movie I saw. This is experiment school,but I am envy they have digital school library. I like using search material online. It is convenience and fast,but in other hand, I was a little worry. Because Internet have to many thing you can do. Sometime, When I study, I should shut off my computer. I couldn't concentrate on study and If someday the Internet system is break. How is my life.
