Devil's Advocate Questions

Just for the sake of the argument, I would like to pose the following questions:
1. How many people have a library's website as their homepage?
2. Why would anyone look at blogs etc provided by their local library when they could just as easily read material from the other side of the world???
3. Isn't the over-enthusiastic assertion of relevance a sure sign that local libraries aren't relevant in cyberspace???

Dear Giraffe

Excellent questions. Wish I had some mind boggling stats for you but alas...

But I should just say that our local is someone else's other side of the world, so we may as well be out there as hiding behind the filing cabinet!

As a VERY advanced learner (2.71 already)I'm sure you'll have fun with the rest of the program, and if not, keep those comments coming :-)
