The Future of Libraries

https://www.flickr.com/photos/millayphotography/

Is the purpose of libraries no longer to store and lend books, but to serve as a digital hub for the community? Are public libraries on the decline, or just changing their focus? The Maine State Librarian and the director of the Bangor Public library join us to discuss the role of libraries in today’s highly connected world.  

Guests:  
Barbara A. McDade, Director, Bangor Public Library
James Ritter, Maine State Librarian
