 tools is crucial for education/learning, working, financial management, e-government services, shopping, health/wellness, transportation, entertainment and creativity. Younger “digital natives” are often assumed to be technologically proficient, while older
 users are not. However, <a href="https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED607390.pdf" target="_blank">statistics show</a> that approximately 48 million Americans lack the digital skills necessary to succeed in the current workplace environment. Libraries can support
