Libraries focus on new technology

MSNBC is running This One on how high tech new public libraries are.


They say now that we all have coffee, there is a new emphasis on upgrading technology at the nation’s 16,000 public libraries.

“Computers have always been one of the most popular things at the library,” says Liz Lancaster, director of Howard County Central Library in Columbia, Md. “Everyone was afraid when the Internet was introduced that people would stop coming to the library, but that hasn’t happened.”
