Unlike Some Things We Can Name, Libraries Are Stronger Than Ever


Suburban libraries go digital, add services.  Libraries seeing resurgence of activity in suburbs.  (Daily Herald, 2/17/2013)

Excerpt: When the digital age dawned, many predicted that libraries, those hushed repositories for dusty printed books, would soon be about as relevant as 8-track tapes. 

But library administrators say that, in fact, use of libraries has never been more robust. They say libraries have changed with the times, transforming themselves into vital community centers that provide access not just to books, but also new technology and recreational programs.
