Do Libraries Still Matter?
Carnegie Reporter: Do Libraries Still Matter? is a great article about the future of libraries. Here is my favorite quote:
"They are traditionally seen as a pillar of democracy. And they provide a place to go—the crucial “third place,” other than home and work or school (and as early library advocates liked to point out, other than the saloon as well). Unlike Starbucks, you don’t have to buy anything, and the wares are as intoxicating in their way as any at a neighborhood bar—except they don’t impair driving."
