Why are we "saving" libraries?

First of all, sorry for my absence! I was just in NYC for the StartingBloc Fellowship - a whole week on social innovation and how to be a better leader. In fact, I might just write a blog post on it. Or, feel free to email me if you are interested in it!


Second, I ran across this blog post (I don't even remember how!): Its time to stop trying to save libraries
which provides the interesting argument that our constant language about "saving public libraries" almost ensures that they become almost obsolete in our minds.

What do you think? Is the language and fight of "saving libraries" necessary, or should we be branding it in a different way?
