The Emerging Story of California Public Libraries, by Deborah Lynch

The Emerging Story of California Public Libraries, by Deborah Lynch | The Information Professional | Scoop.it

"The California State Library has announced an exciting new tool for public libraries. The Emerging Story of California Public Libraries is a document designed to help libraries reframe their stories of why they are still relevant in today's highly technological society."

 

"This document helps to celebrate the many ways that libraries have already adapted to the changing needs of society in the 21st century.

These include: providing material and digital access to everyone;

serving as a collector of information for future generations;

connecting people, places and ideas in communities;

supporting the discovery of new information;

and becoming a hub to help communities be creators of content."
