I welcome you to my blog. Once upon a time the library was home to all because it was like the only source of knowledge, and all who seek knowledge must visit the library before they gain access to it. Our world keeps evolving, and over time we start to live without those things we thought we could not live without. At some point we could do completely nothing academic-related without visiting the library, but today things are different; we could research diverse topics without stepping foot into the library. Technology made life easy for us but took away everything that made the Liberians happy.
Those days the library had a lot of traffic and saw a lot of people walk in and walk out of it. The librarians were kept very busy, and they had so much workload to the point everyone of them complained, but over time the workload was lifted little by little, not because more librarians were employed but because the number of people visiting the library kept reducing with each passing day as many users started adopting the use of e-libraries and e-books, and librarians were left with little or no work to do at all. The evolution of technology and the adoption of e-books and e-libraries took their jobs away and turned a library that was one time known to be a very busy place into a graveyard.
Many libraries have closed down; the few that are still open barely get any form of traffic. The librarians there just go to the library to while away time and then go back home at the end of the day. They are there for users, and without the users of the library, they are useless. So if there is only one last library in this technological era, there are quite a lot of things that the librarian will face, one of which I have stated earlier, which is the loss of their jobs. Many libraries have closed down. What happened to the librarians working there before the shutdown? They were kicked out and forced to find other means of survival.
Another thing a librarian can suffer in this era is the lack of human interaction; like I said before, those libraries still open have only a few people still making use of them. A librarian can be in the library for a whole day and have only 1 or 2 people visit the library.
