This morning at 12:01 am Pew released their new report on the role of libraries in the digital age - title Libraries, patrons and ebooks. You can read the full report here and I encourage you to do so, there is a great deal of good data there.
What does your community want and need from a library? If you're a librarian, chances are you've made efforts to find out, to strategically plan, to adjust services to local interests and changing needs. Rarely, though, do any of us get to see a broad view of our library community through the filter of independent data.
