Libraries Lend a Helping Hand

The Today Show did an interesting segment on how the recession is impacting libraries. They talked to a Maryland Public Library director and the President of the New York Public Library. They are seeing the same things we have experienced in Dover: smaller budgets and increased demand. People are lined up for Internet computers, they need help with resumes, families are coming here for free entertainment, whether it is a library program, story hour, or DVDs and CDs. Overall usage has sky-rocketed. Watch this short video segment and see what libraries across America are experiencing.
