Summary/Abstract: There are many features shared by electronic and printed book. But also plenty of differences. Digital and traditional library are similar in many ways, but distinct in others. The article doesn’t reopen the debate on the future of these entities, but explores the attitudes towards them. How do we see them? How different do they appear to people? Surprising or expected, the answers to these questions were collected and analysed in a sociological research conducted in the “Ioan N. Roman” County Library of Constanța.
