Public Libraries: Breaking Barriers, Building Connections

Libraries are often called the cornerstones of democracy, but cornerstones are not known for their ability to be flexible. Yet, today’s libraries are striving to find new ways to promote the foundational values that they’ve always championed: access, literacy, and community. Join librarians from the Erie County Public Library as they discuss how modern libraries are breaking down barriers, connecting patrons to technology and information in meaningful ways, and building a culture of participatory curiosity.
