XXI century [Theme]

Due to the development of the digital society, libraries will change and will probably shrink in size. But, judging by the behavior and requests of visitors, the need for a competent librarian is quite acute, and this will not change. Today, schoolchildren are bombarded with a huge amount of Internet information, practically unstructured and often unreliable. School and academic library staff have always played a critical role in teaching students the skills of searching and studying information, including assessing the reliability of an information source. Community members need librarians to help them find the information they need, both online and in print. Whether libraries are filled with printed materials, e-books, or computers, the work of librarians will continue to be valuable and necessary.
