change: June 2008 Archives

Governing Magazine has again published two must-read articles about libraries.  Revolution in the Stacks talks about how libraries are changing roles in our changing world.  The article features libraries that have reinvented themselves by creating teen spaces, embracing Library 2.0, serving as community gathering spaces, and facilitating the creation of content.  A companion article, Getting in the Game discusses whether video gaming belongs in libraries.  I recommend that library workers and trustees read these articles, not only for their interesting content, but because local governmental officials are reading them.
