Pop City has a great article about how some public libraries are taking creative, innovative steps to meet the needs of the communities they serve.
Here’s an excerpt:
Bethel Park Public Library is also a big proponent of connecting with patrons in other ways. In addition to its main website, it has at least nine other websites and blogs, covering everything from book and movie reviews to a homeschoolers group. The library even produces its own TV show.
“At the heart of [our approach] is giving respect to the patrons and allowing them to reclaim the idea that the library is their library because it’s funded through their taxes,” Kalchthaler explains.
