They are invigorating meeting places and communities where truly meaningful learning and discovery take place. As technology has transformed reading and learning, it has also transformed the vision of the library in both structure and function. Librarians have always been needed as guides and providers to assist in learning and discovery. Librarians in the information age play a critical role in access to and application of knowledge.
