The Bookless Library!?!

Now that you have had the chance to read about (with pleasure? with horror?) Cushing Academy's vision of the bookless library, what do you think? There's a term for people who resist the coming technology tide, and it's generally not meant as a compliment: Luddites. Does Cushing have it right? Is this indeed the way to engage students in reading? Is Cushing totally off base? Or, as many students suggested when asked, is there a compromise path that would be best?
