1. The principal of West Junior High School, Jake Hazard, has finally convinced the Superintendent and School Committee that West should be renovated and expanded. Everyone in the school and many parents have worked hard to develop a library architectural program. However, this is the first time that the members of the community have had a chance to review the plans. All the teachers, including Sam Greenfield, the school librarian, are attending a public school committee meeting that has drawn a large number of residents of the city. After the Superintendent’s presentation, a member of the audience approaches the microphone and asks, “I see you have included an expanded library for the school.

Don’t you think that most everything is on the Internet now? Why should we have to have such an outmoded space for the new school?” Jake gives Sam a nod to respond. If you were Sam how would you answer that question? Make a list of points for justifying libraries in the digital age.
