More Than Just Books

Public libraries play an important role for individuals and communities. Often, they are a vital community gathering place and the only free access to new technology. “One of the things that libraries will continue to do is to level the playing field between the technology haves and have nots,” says Camille Leslie, director of the Massillon Public Library in a recent article.

“Even as technology prices come down, new things come on the market and there will always be people who won’t be able to afford them. That’s a very important thing for people to remember. It makes all of society better if everyone can have access to that technology. Public libraries allow that to happen.”
