The Age of Myspace and Runescape

So when I was little, the library was a wonderfully quiet place you could go to get a good book, or study quietly. If you haven't been to a library recently, those days are Gone!
Now, the library is used less as a book place and more as a community center and internet cafe. I thought it prudent, that I include the most used sites and funny things about them on this library blog. yes, that seems prudent....

First and foremost use of the library, and not just by teenagers, Myspace. You can reach thousands of people at once online in Myspace, and I bet about 75% of those people are in a public library at the time. http://www.myspace.com/

And then there is the second greatest use of the public library, again, not just teenagers...
Runescape! I had lots of fun playing this game and telling Laffy taffy jokes to all who would listen... anyways... once again, if you go ont this gaming site, you will be confronted by thousands of people all at once.... half of which are in a public library. http://www.runescape.com/

So you see, the library is a place to meet imaginary friends and kill imaginary goblins, not a place to read.
