Rethinking libraries - Trevor Jones, The Berkshire Eagle
Gone are the days of card catalogues and microfiche, replaced by online databases, MP3s and even video games. They're all changes local public libraries have made to remain relevant to younger generations, who are reading less and turning to Google instead of encyclopedias for their information.... The increased technology follows a national trend, as the percent of libraries that offer audio-books and podcasts has increased 33 percent from last year, e-books offerings have increased by 13.5 percent and the amount offering high-speed Internet and wireless connections is up 12 percent, according to a 2008 study by the American Library Association, or ALA.
