I do not agree that they are becoming obsolete. I volunteered at two public libraries in Palm Harbor from 2000 through 2003 and the Children's Department at both libraries were very much involved with various programs that entertained, taught, and also supervised various kids. The high schools also had various students volunteering at the library. It seems to depend on the library involved.

The Lady Lake Library also seems to have a very active Children's Department.
