No Summer Reading in Royalton

Just 315 miles from Chicago: ROYALTON, Ill. - Residents of this small southern Illinois city who want something to read over the summer will have to look someplace other than their local public library.

It's a worry! Will the Internet mean the death of libraries? Quite probably...
