Mead library moves with times, fund pressures. (Sheboygan Press, 10/3/2015)
"We have 100 people through the gate each hour," Erickson repeats, as do the library's other proponents.
Sure enough, during the course of two hours Friday afternoon, people are constantly streaming through the doors of the downtown library. Not just for the book sale going on or for Internet service. Teenagers congregate in their dedicated space, moving past the older patrons reading silently at their desks, just a short distance from those studying or getting tutoring in the silent room.
The library isn't merely straddling two media landscapes, they're starting to redefine what it means to be a library. But while they're reshaping their vision, they remain cautious of what's on the horizon from the city itself.
