theparisreview: darienlibrary: While interning at the American Library in Paris a few summers ago, I came across this issue of Library Journal from 1950. This is sweet, beautiful proof that we’ve been worried about new media making reading obsolete for oh … ever. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I believe this time things are serious. The new media has produced an impatient generation that look for the fastest and easiest way to get info.

While interning at the American Library in Paris a few summers ago, I came across this issue of Library Journal from 1950. This is sweet, beautiful proof that we’ve been worried about new media making reading obsolete for oh … ever.

I believe this time things are serious. The new media has produced an impatient generation that look for the fastest and easiest way to get info.
