UW study: third of Americans use library computers

Posted on by Elaine

“A third of Americans 14 and older – about 77 million people – use public library computers to look for jobs, connect with friends, do their homework and improve their lives, according to a new study” — including half of the nation’s teens.

A good reminder of the power of libraries to make a positive difference in people’s lives!
