Abstract:With increased popular and scholarly interest in the impact of digital media technologies on city planning and urban living; the significance of physical places; where people can access material media; is often overlooked. I argue that public libraries play important social roles in facilitating media access for technological have-nots; in remaining as one of the city’s few remaining freely accessible public spaces; and in maintaining environments uniquely suited to the access of physical media with distinctive material qualities.
