Listen Online (Radio Program): The Modern Role Of Libraries are Discussed on KCUR’s “Up to Date”
From KCUR (Kansas City):
How Does a Millennium-Old Institution Stay Relevant?
In a conversation broadcast live from Johnson County Library’s newest branch, we ask local leaders in the industry what separates public libraries from online bookmongers like Amazon and digital forums like Facebook or Twitter. Despite the ease with which people can download and order books, video and audio online, library systems on both sides of the state line expect sustained expansion.
- Steven Potter, Mid-Continent Public Library Director and CEO
