Topics

Trends, technology and other things going on in the library world.

Get Inspired by Design

It’s fun to see what’s happening in library design. American Libraries Magazine features library building, renovation and design projects each year. Take a look and get inspired.

Libraries and Social Work

It’s a new way to think about libraries connecting to people in the community. Libraries are hiring or embedding a social worker in the library. Listen to a story from NPR. Then find out more in the book.
