THE FUTURE OF LIBRARIES: A MUST-READ

Degree Tutor interviewed 27—from Gene Ambaum (co-creator of the comic strip Unshelved) to Martin Harfagar from an island south of Chile. This is fascinating reading and should be read by all librarians—not just those working in public libraries.

I am fascinated by the disconnect between how the librarians actually use libraries and what they think libraries should be.
