Synopsis
Libraries have existed for millennia, but today many question their necessity. In an ever more digital and connected world, do we still need places of books in our towns, colleges, or schools? If libraries aren’t about books, what are they about? In Expect More, David Lankes, winner of the 2012 ABC-CLIO/Greenwood Award for the Best Book in Library Literature, walks you through what to expect out of your library. Lankes argues that, to thrive, communities need libraries that go beyond bricks and mortar, and beyond books and literature. We need to expect more out of our libraries. They should be places of learning and advocates for our communities in terms of privacy, intellectual property, and economic development. Expect More is a rallying call to communities to raise the bar, and their expectations, for great libraries.

Condition: Bueno. : En un mundo cada vez más digital y conectado, muchos cuestionan la necesidad de las bibliotecas. ¿Todavía necesitamos lugares de libros en nuestras ciudades, colegios o escuelas? Si las bibliotecas no se tratan de libros, ¿de qué se tratan? En Expect More, David Lankes, ganador del Premio ABC-CLIO/Greenwood 2012 al Mejor Libro en Literatura Bibliotecaria, te guía a través de lo que debes esperar de tu biblioteca. Lankes argumenta que, para prosperar, las comunidades necesitan bibliotecas que vayan más allá de los ladrillos y el cemento, y más allá de los libros y la literatura. Necesitamos esperar más de nuestras bibliotecas. Deberían ser lugares de aprendizaje y defensores de nuestras comunidades en términos de privacidad, propiedad intelectual y desarrollo económico. Expect More es un llamado a las comunidades para que eleven el listón y sus expectativas para las grandes bibliotecas.
