Summary:

Exploring the future of public libraries requires us to consider the future of public librarians—and how they prepare for a dynamic and evolving service context.  Public libraries are in transition, bridging the print, physical, digital, and virtual worlds. Taking this into account the article suggests that there are things that both Professors and MLIS students should be doing differently throughout their degrees that will help prepare for the continuously changing library field.

Evaluation:

I enjoyed this article because I feel that it is very apt information for any student currently pursuing their MLIS degree to understand that they will need to be very forward thinking and socially advanced when working in public libraries.
