Myth #2
Nobody goes to the library anymore.
Not true at all. With digital sources, people get electronic services & books at the tip of their fingers, but the physical library provides a sense of exploration rather than search.
We also have patrons taking meetings, using the computers, working remotely, hanging out with friends, and faxing or printing. In the past ten years, annual estimated library usage has increased by a third. Most libraries see additional new usage when they build a new library.
