* A small percentage of people still require help from librarians. The only group that still asks for help are between the ages of 16 and 17.
* Source F; The older population is using libraries less and less, leading to the funding cuts that have persisted throughout the past few years. It would be smarter for libraries to just close their doors rather than trying to survive.]]> 2022-05-05 17:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171821068 https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171821687 The calendar is pro-choice for having libraries because it engages the whole community by having events for every age group.  
"Microsoft Excel 2010" is a way for people to learn how to use excel with the library computers.
"All Day-Junior Page Volunteer Program Registration" provides volunteer opportunities along with leadership training for everyone.

In Source C, it mentions the library YOUmedia program that "helps teens think critically and creatively." The libraries being active supports Source B because it proves that libraries have programs that helps teens, but more specifically, they have events that help everyone in the community. ]]> 2022-05-05 17:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171821687 https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171824217 This source could support the position of going against libraries. For example, Siegler states “It’s hard for me to even remember the last time I was in a library.” as a way of stating that public libraries have become irrelevant in his life. The authors also says, “But it’s impossible to see a world where we keep libraries open simply to pretend they still serve a purpose for which they no longer serve.” again establishing how unnecessary it is in todays society along with the rise of technology. The author of Source B establishes all of the different events that take place at the library like pilates class, toddler art and nursing home visits. However, author from Source E supports the fact that libraries are no longer being used for its practical use which is to read, do research and study. ]]> 2022-05-05 17:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171824217 https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171828301 Source F, the funding statistics, is most beneficial when used in the argument against the benefit of public libraries.
— Funds for libraries have either been cut or have remained stagnant according to public records of funding. This means there has been no active effort to increase funding for libraries or ‘save’ them. This contributes to the downward and unnecessarily slow death of libraries, as explained in the article Source E. 
— If the public were so outraged by these tremendous and continuous budget cuts, they would have done something now, but the public remains silent and therefore the motivation behind seeking these funds for the libraries are rather silent.

Related source: Source B. With the continuous budget cuts, the library won’t be able to provide the special events or so they do, so that argument becomes weaker with the continuous cuts.]]> 2022-05-05 17:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171828301 https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171830456 The position the author takes with source A is that libraries are still relevant in today’s world because they are open and easy access to information for all citizens. Source A states how libraries are communities that bring people together with common interests where they could discuss important matters. Source B shows the events that are available in the public libraries such as computer volunteers, nursing home visits. Source D also shows that there’s a wide range people use for learning knowledge. This could be use for a evidence because of the statistics of how many people use the library for different reasons of access. ]]> 2022-05-05 17:39:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171830456 carsonhunter9067 https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171832059 Source C supports the position that libraries hold relevancy in today's modern world. Libraries are accessible for everyone and they are providing digital access.

 "Without libraries, the division would be even greater, since for many people they serve as the only access point for digital information and services."

" Libraries are definitely in the middle of all this [digital] action, both working very hard to provide access to e-reading materials...
This source connects to source D which shows graphs of how people are reading. They are reading e-books and print books, which as stated in source C are both available in libraries.]]> 2022-05-05 17:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dawn_moss2/m6ydg6xrvjaltk2u/wish/2171832059
