RT @DMRegister "Can public libraries stay relevant in the digital age?" Devices, ebooks aren't free. Without libraries, we aren't either.

#Libraries that provide access to books and other media are essential in times of underfunded schools, unverified 'facts.' #educationforall

#Libraries can serve as homes for books not lucrative at the moment, but needed for the future #books #education #curators #stewardship

#Librarians are cultural #historians, #educators, #mentors, curators, researchers, good #neighbors, fellow readers - people we need to know.

#Libraries relevant? Do you want uninformed people #voting for the greater evil next #election? No? Help your library serve your #Community

#Libraries relevant? Do you think everyone should have access to all the #information? Great. Keep libraries open. With #books in them.

#Libraries relevant? Do you think your town's small-print-run 1860 #history is on Nook? You don't care? Somebody does. Keep it at a library.

Only when all data are free, on free bandwidth, on free devices, for everyone, will physical #libraries be less than vital to civilization.

PS, how about funding #libraries based on population served, rather than circulation numbers. So they can afford to provide what's RELEVANT.

...Though live it may be
there is no fruit on it.
Therefore chop it down
and use the wood
against this biting cold.

Don't know why "The Bare Tree" by Williams is relevant to these tweets about #libraries? Ask a #poet, a #teacher, or try your local #library
