Digital Age Libraries/Learning Commons( whatever the name) Americans love them!
Jessica Dorr , Deputy Director of the Global Libraries program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, offers us this interesting article from Pew Research.
It provides evidence of that rare high common opinion:
Americans love their Libraries! One reason is the public access to new technologies, which bridge the digital divide between various patrons.
Below, is another link to the Huffington Post article, showing that Canadians love their Libraries, too!

With so much information all around us, we still love to learn! Whether we use physical books, or e-books, human curiosity abounds. This is great news for humanity.

Teachers and learners of all ages are connecting more than ever. In 2013, we will see teachers expanding their Personal Learning Networks (PLN) using social media. They will be telling more stories and sharing their journeys as they personalize learning. Learners will be using mobile devices for learning in and out of school. We will be seeing learners involved in more global collaborative projects in 2013.
Some of these predictions are already here! See for yourself!
