by Ann Greene 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

Hi: Seeing the note from Ryan jogged my memory. I also attended the excellent millage workshop in Flint earlier this year. One of the presenters mentioned that her library had made a list of answers to the frequently asked question, "Why do we need libraries when we have the Internet and kindles?" If she would be kind enough to share that information, I would truly appreciate it. Ann Greene Eau Claire District Library greenelib(a)yahoo.com
