Libraries Beef Up For The Digital Age

Several parts of our region have voted on whether to fund libraries in recent years. 

And one of the frequent reasons given for voting no is the idea that libraries are irrelevant in the Internet age.  John Palfrey begs to differ. 

Palfrey is the author of BiblioTech: Why Libraries Matter More Than Ever in the Age of Google

And while he's a great believer in the utility of libraries, he also believes they need to make better use of technology to offer that utility. 

He joins us to lay out his vision.
