From the article:

Business is booming at Canada’s major public libraries, which credit everything from the high price of buying books to social networking, vampires and a new social acceptance for frothy best-sellers.

“People say libraries are dying because of the Internet,” said Beth Barlow, chief librarian at Surrey Public Library.

“But we’re finding a lot of growth in people who get library cards, and a continual growth in the circulation of our materials.”
