Millennials & Libraries

Wilson, Shibrie

Manalli, S. (2015, August 20). Millennials Among US. Retrieved from http://publiclibrariesonline.org/2015/08/millennials-among-us/

There are different names to describe Millennials, such as "the Next Generation, the Echo Boomers, the Y Generation, or the Generation Why?" Millennials were introduced to technology during early part of their lives and have not lived without such. This generation is extremely different in comparison to prior generation in regards to how they view the world. According to the article a survey found that 77 percent of millennials are interested in libraries  due to "information accessed, stored, and applied." Study found that millennials would like to transform libraries in which enhance technology. Millennials provide a fresh perspective to patrons of all ages and different scopes of technology.

Opinion:

I thoroughly enjoyed this article because it provided positive feedback about millennials and their contributions to technology. Millennials are an asset to library community and have the gift teaching all patrons about technology and its importance.  Millennials can bring a new since of excitement to library programs.
