Iantha Haight writes: “It’s understandable why some would question the need for a physical library. Building space is expensive. Most of our research resources are digital. The embedded librarian movement that emphasized the very real benefits of integrating librarians into classrooms and clinics had the unintentional side effect of deemphasizing the importance of the independent library space. Yet isn’t a library much more than that? The library as a physical entity serves as a powerful tangible symbol of the intangible and has a function beyond study space.”
