In an age of ebook readers and digital downloads, it is easy to imagine a time when printed books will vanish, rendered extinct by the Internet revolution. But such forecasts miss the mark, argues Jeffrey Schnapp and Matthew Battles. In 'The Library Beyond the Book' they reflect on what libraries have been, in order to speculate on what they will become: hybrid places that intermingle books and ebooks, analogue and digital formats, paper and pixels.
