How are your patrons using the technology services at your library? Do your patrons use what they learned from your library’s programs and services? If so, how? What are the benefits your community is receiving through access to technology through the library?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

libraries throughout the United States to make strategic decisions on which programming and services to offer and which technology investments should be made to ensure that the library continues to meet patron needs and community priorities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
