There's been a dramatic change in the mission of libraries across the country. No longer just static repositories of books and reference materials, libraries are increasingly serving as the hub of their communities, providing a broad range of services and activities. They are also becoming important "economic engines" of downtowns and neighborhood districts.
"Libraries at the Heart of Our Communities" is available to order & immediately download (use link for more details); also available: printed copies of our Summer issue featuring the article.
Take a look also at two of our previous blog postings on libraries: "Hudson's Star Attraction" and "A Harbor You Can Sail Into."
