by Barbie E. Keiser
|

Gale, part of Cengage Learning, launched My Library Story, an online community on which users can tell their personal stories about how their school, public, or academic library has benefitted them, their family, or their community. Today's libraries are more important to users than ever and assume more varied roles as centers of their communities by offering literacy and English-language courses for adults and homework help for students; providing career guidance and assistance for individuals and business research for small, local startups; offering high-tech services not available to many homes in their communities, including high-speed wireless connections, computer access and classes, and 3D printing; and delivering other services, all while acting as venues for community gatherings, lectures, and movies.
