The Role of Today's Libraries

The role of today's libraries is more varied than ever. We'll talk with New Hampshire State Librarian Michael York about how their unique role has evolved in New Hampshire, with a focus on how they remain determined to uphold the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. We'll also talk with Lisa Morin, the director of the Lee Public Library about how libraries are working to bring more patrons through the doors.

We'll also hear the story of one library on the West Coast that handled a vandal's attacks on its collection by turning his destruction into art. This piece comes to us via the Public Radio Exchange. Click here for a direct link to the story.
