Read the story. Then fill in the bubbles to answer the questions. The Future of Libraries Enter the main branch of BiblioTech, a public library in San Antonio, Texas, and you might think you have stumbled into an electronics store. There are 48 desktop computers, an iPad bar, and some Microsoft Surface tables. What you won’t find are shelves full of books. It is the country’s first digital-only public library. Users check out electronic books to read on their devices or on one of the library’s 800 e-readers and tablets. “It’s a small space,” head librarian Ashley Eklof told TFK. “But we don’t need much room. Instead of bookshelves, we have a community space.” Is this what all libraries will look like one day? A PLACE TO CREATE Americans love libraries. But nowadays, libraries are being challenged to meet new needs. They are rising to the challenge. Last year, the Arlington Heights Memorial Library, in Illinois, went through a makeover. Changes included adding a do-it-yourself project space for teens and a production studio. “Libraries are [becoming] more dynamic, active spaces,” says Jason Kuhl, the library’s executive director. “People are using libraries to gather, learn, and create.” The role of librarians is changing too. “Now we nurture creativity and learning,” says American Library Association president Barbara Stripling.

Read the debate. Then fill in the bubbles to answer the questions. Should Kids Be Rewarded for Doing Chores? Many kids help out around the house by doing chores. In return, some parents give their kids rewards. “Kids need positive reinforcement to motivate them,” Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster, a rewards app, told TFK. Susie Walton, a parenting educator, disagrees. She believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. “A household is a team effort,” she says.
