    Ask the public what they think…
    Yes, they are certainly all great aspirations for the public library but I’m afraid that’s all they are for most libraries. For starters, the funding is drying up for many libraries, that they don’t have enough resources to provide innovative services. The other problem is that this is yet again coming from librarians, and librarians always overstate their worth and importance. Ask the public what they think of libraries, or how they look at libraries. I’m sure you’ll come up with a different story.
