can replace libraries is one built on underestimation of what a library is and how it has, and continues to, evolve. The idea of a library is something built from personal experiences and relies on nostalgia. But libraries today are not what they were in the past, nor can they be in the future, “Libraries need to take the time to ask hard questions about how their patrons are seeking knowledge and using information differently than they have in the past.” (Palfrey 2015, p.40).

the assignment, since I haven’t asked a library professional for help since I was in elementary school. I was anxious to see how the librarian responded to me and was interested in the quality of the resources we might find.

Our observations were done during summer quarter, and most UCSB students left Santa Barbara during summer. And because it is a public library, other people can use this facility too. It is likely that we've observed students from SBCC or not even a student. I've seen a male elderly that reads newspaper on the first floor and an Asian family taking a rest in the library.
