Since we are talking about public libraries this week, I thought this would be a good video to look at and react to. Through the various clips we see how libraries bring books to their communities and how patrons react to and respond to libraries.
Free for All: Inside the Public Library - a Film & Social Media Project
Here's the article that goes with the video http://www.sfgate.com/default/article/Free-for-All-explores-libraries-value-4301986.php
Libraries are an integral part of my life. Not just because I teach about libraries and librarians, but because I visit the library several times a week. From videos to books, from reference books to primary sources, the library holds many treasures to explore sometimes I think the knowledge stored within is endless.
For small communities, public libraries are community centers and lifelines particularly for those looking for work and applying for government assistance. They are places from which you can borrow reading and viewing materials for entertainment and education.
What do you do at your public library?
