For nearly two decades, Ann Kennedy has watched the Carol Stream Public Library adapt to the ongoing changes in technology. Kennedy, the library director, has watched the music collection switch from LPs to cassette tapes to CDs, and the movie collection blossom from a few videos to a vast assortment of DVDs. “Now, people are even predicting the death of the DVD,” said Kennedy. She began at the library in 1992 as the head of adult services and took over as director five years ago. Below, she shares how Carol Stream’s population growth to more than 40,000 people has impacted the library, its users and how officials plan to keep up with the latest technological trends going into 2011.
