National Study: Millions rely on library computers
Posted By: vaganie on May 31, 2010 in Uncategorized - Comments: No Comments »
A recent national study confirmed what many already knew: free access to computers at the public library is a lifeline for patrons who do not have computer access at home. What may be surprising is the sheer volume of patrons who rely on this service. Nearly one-third of Americans aged 14 and older (about 77 million people) have used a public library computer or wifi network to access the Internet in the past year. The four main areas where library computer usage has made the most impact are: job searching and career needs, health issues, educational needs, and linking patrons to government and civic resources. CADL provides free computer usage and wifi access to its patrons, supporting this vital trend in our communities.
