Libraries to abolish the digital divide.

[Isobel Hunter MBE @HunterIsobel]

Tackling the digital divide needs “intensive, long-term support networks to help people acquire the digital know-how they lack… People helping people.” Libraries must be part of the solution https://t.co/vySO3FlGB4

This is a really interesting analysis on the USE of libraries versus the VALUE and IMPACT of them, and how difficult that is to measure - something to think on, especially for @LisRival network members!

[Christian Lauersen @clauersen]

“... new public management is a game libraries can not win and the value of libraries can’t be extended from statistics alone”

We’re gonna change that ✊ https://t.co/kL6LSmzyPD #librariesmatter
