Local Libraries Offer Up Much More than Books
-
Description
-
Article describes various initiatives by Kansas City-area public libraries to introduce new technologies and diversified programming in order to attract patrons and remain relevant in an age when book circulation is declining. One new technology spotlighted is the Expresso Book Machine at the Mid-Continent Public Library's Woodneath Branch, which prints and binds self-published manuscripts. The Kansas City (MO) Public Library system provides a wide range of programs, such as lectures, films, exhibits and theatrical productions, to attract new patrons to its locations. Likewise, the Cass County Public Library has placed a greater emphasis on its public programming and community outreach.
