A recent article in the Deseret News is headlined Out of Print: Can Libraries Survive the Digital Age? In a time when people are reading fewer books and spending more time online, we thought we’d turn to one of our favorite librarians to examine the future of these beloved institutions. Sam Passey is Director of the Uintah County Library in Vernal. He’ll join us for the hour to review current challenges and opportunities and look to the future. We’ll ask you about your experiences of the library and how that might be changing. Email us to upraccess@gmail.com or call us at 800.826.1495.
