Not just about the books?

This CNN article captures some of the current thought about the purpose of libraries and the role of librarians. We all know that libraries are places where you can get information (free!!!) and comfortably read, react, and respond to it. But libraries are increasingly taking on the role of community or social centers, where users can meet, discuss and debate this information. While Lila still loves books, nothing makes her happier than seeing a group of students collaborating on a project in one of the study rooms or helping a student find useful resources in one of the online databases. Whatever changes come, Lila will roll with the punches and continue to look out for the BU community's information needs!
