Hi all,
FYI

My wife sent me this link from a Sound Print Program entitled Who needs
Libraries
http://www.soundprint.org/radio/display_show/ID/629/name/Who+needs+libraries

Quite frankly this program speaks to the choir and as such nothing in it
is revolutionary.  But it does reinforce truths we see every day,
particularly for those of us at the reference desk.  Additionally it
illustrates a possible change within the public discourse about the library.
