Libraries are more than books

Public libraries provide essential resources to millions of people every day. They provide more than access to information and technology—libraries change lives!

According to a new video produced by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, libraries also change the way we connect. Click the link below to see the video!http://youtu.be/4pzJEbL2tak
