Internet Access in Libraries - new study shows 1 in 3 Americans uses public library internet

Not surprising to those of us who work in libraries!  But still - good to see the research happening.  Across the US services in multiple sectors are being slashed as the country deals with the fallout from its economic crisis, and public libraries are not immune.  And yet libraries are one of the first places people turn for help finding jobs, upgrading skills, or applying for government services.  The T-shirt below gives the executive summary ;)  As Canadians, our thoughts and support go out to our colleagues south of the border as they deal with this disastrous situation.
