If you've been to the Plaistow Library recently, you know that this article is spot on. While books and literacy programs will always be core library services, we've also expanded our role in the community to offer access to technology such as computers and printers, study rooms, Library of Things items, and so much more. We strive to be a true community partner by offering programs and events for all ages and interests, and creating opportunities for people to make connections with others.

Budget cuts and declining donations post threats to America’s public libraries. Many are reinventing themselves to expand their traditional roles.
