Download Expect More: Demanding Better Libraries for Today's Complex World AudioBook Free
Libraries have existed for millennia, but today many question their requirement. Within an ever-more digital and linked world, do we still need places of catalogs in our cities, colleges, or schools? If libraries aren't about catalogs, what exactly are they about? In Expect More, David Lankes, champion of the 2012 ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Honor for the Best Book in Library Literature, walks you through what things to expect out of your library. Lankes argues that, to thrive, communities need libraries that go beyond bricks and mortar, and beyond catalogs and literature. We need to expect more out of our libraries. They should be places of learning and advocates for our communities in conditions of privateness, intellectual property, and monetary development. Expect More is a rallying call to communities to raise the club, and their targets, for great libraries.
