The rise of the digital age has helped boost visitors to the British
Library by ten per cent, a report has found, as it suggests the more
screen-based peoples lives the more they value physical artefacts.
.
The chief executive of the British Library said the world of computers,
smart phones and social media was no threat to the traditional library,
instead encouraging people through its doors.
.
A report, released as the library announces its plans up until 2023, has
now identified a 10 per cent rise in visitor numbers in the last 12
months, from 1,465,318 in 2013 to more than 1.6 million last year.
.
It noted the world of increasingly digital and screen-based knowledge had
led not to the diminishing of physical libraries but to a renewed interest
in its stock.
.
The more screen-based our lives, it seems, the greater the perceived value
of real human encounters and physical artefacts: activity in each realm
feeds interest in the other, it said.

Speaking at the library on the subject of Living Knowledge, Keating said:
People do ask me perhaps more frequently than I might have expected, in
the age of Google and of great search engines and screens, does the whole
idea of the library still even make sense?
.
Its a serious question at a time of constrained public funding.
.
And what we collectively believe libraries are for and what they are will
determine in what form they survive in the years ahead.
