IF you were to hear the word "library", what image comes to mind? When I posed the question to friends, they invariably mentioned things such as: "Oak-panelled shelves filled with musty, old books"; "Indiana Jones-type users researching scholarly articles"; "Little old librarians shushing people and stamping out books". However, nothing could be further from the truth for today's library.
The modern library
The library of today is a beacon of knowledge and entertainment, decked out with the latest technologies to meet the evolving needs of the communities they serve. In addition to loaning reading material, library services now include in-person and remote storytelling, book reviews, audio books, podcasts, webinars and availability of rooms for meetings or places to make Tik Tok vignettes.
