Elaine D. Briseno, Albuquerque Journal; Evolving with time and technology, public libraries expand their offerings:

"People might no longer be calling their local library reference desk to find out who the 23rd president was or to settle a debate with their neighbor. They have their smartphone for that.

Instead, they now can go there to learn how to knit, attend community meetings, get tips on using their tablets and phones, even on how to start a business.

Of course, that’s in addition to the library’s core mission of providing books and information – only now on a lot of different platforms.

And it’s all free."
