Sign o' the times?

From the LJ of my friend [personal profile] sanscouronne (who, to explain matters, is a fashion model who is a devout Catholic with a Chicago University degree in International Relations and a stratospheric IQ):

My sister's sister-in-law: Where is Stephanie?
My mother: Oh, she's at the library.
Sister's sister-in-law: (scoffs) Who goes to the LIBRARY anymore??

We're dated, old friend. My children see the library as an uncomfortable place to print things. They are addicted to fast information - even the phone is too slow. Internet on a mobile PC is their prefered research method. My love of bookshelves is an old-fashioned quirk.
