“What makes a service Library 2.0? Any service, physical or virtual, that successfully reaches users, is evaluated frequently, and makes use of customer input is a Library 2.0 service. Even older, traditional services can be Library 2.0 if criteria are met. Similarly, being new is not enough to make a service Library 2.0.” Service for the next-generation library

What you can do...

--Don’t ignore change – engage & evaluate it.

--Put the library’s users first.

--Enable and encourage the telling of shared narratives.

Libraries embody the hope that we can learn to understand our creations, our neighbors, and ourselves.
