There is nothing like being able to browse a book, turn its pages, smell it, technology can't give us that. And I share your concern about the new generations and reading, it is dramatic what is happening. We at home always try to instill in our son the habit of reading, my husband is an avid reader and I also like to read. Our son fortunately has the habit of reading too. But I remember when he was in school at the piñatas for me a precious gift was a story book but there were few moms or children who appreciated such a gift or used to give it.
Another issue is not only the libraries in our country but also the good bookstores are so scarce and it is very sad.
