How a 21st century urban library serves its community

Libraries are changing.

Not only are they changing as the world grows more technologically sophisticated, but they are also discovering new ways to impact and serve their communities.

Public libraries are transitioning from centralized places for information to centralized places for conversation.

Come learn how the Austin Public Library provides opportunities for individual and community engagement through its central library, twenty branch libraries, and digital resources.
