Libraries everywhere face the threat of extinction. In todays day and age,
public libraries are loaning out fewer books and gearing more towards job
training workshops, English classes, providing a community meeting place,
and giving people the opportunity to get internet access.
.
In fact, a number of citizens across the United States are starting their
own do-it-yourself libraries, where they provide members a key to a
reading room, a Wi-Fi password, and access to books 24 hours a day.
.
Whats surprising is that public libraries face a number of challenges they
may not overcome. For example, the New York libraries draw in more
visitors than the New York Yankees, Mets, Knicks, Giants, Jets, Nets,
Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, aquariums, zoos, and Madison Square Garden
combined, according to a story by the New York Times.
.
About nine million people attend New Yorks sporting events at places like
the Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden. Close to 21 million New
Yorkers and visitors attend museums, historical sites, zoos, botanical
gardens, and live performances.
.
On the other hand, The New York libraries have nearly 37 million users
more visitors than all the sporting events, live performances, zoos, and
museum attendance combined. But, according to public library officials,
the 217 New York public libraries face a $1.1 billion maintenance crisis.
.
In a March 2015, New York Library special report, officials claim the New
York libraries get far less government funding for building maintenance,
including out-of-order restrooms, heating and cooling, chronic water
damage, entrance barriers for the handicapped, unused space, overcrowding,
broken elevators, and malfunctioning windows that cause chronic leaks and
drafts.
.
In some locations, the libraries do not have enough space to accommodate
the amount of visitors wanting access to the free facilities.
