加州公共圖書館的故事地圖

美國加州州立圖書館上個月發佈了一份新文件(The Emerging Story of California Public Libraries) 做為推廣公共圖書館的新工具，它主要設計來幫助圖書館重新塑造他們自己的故事，告訴民眾在資訊科技發達的今日，圖書館仍然與民眾息息相關。

這份文件或故事地圖(pdf) 是在上個月初的加州圖書館協會年會期間發表，它可做為一個範本，供全美的公共圖書館使用。

This document helps to celebrate the many ways that libraries have already adapted to the changing needs of society in the 21st century. These include: providing material and digital access to everyone; serving as a collector of information for future generations; connecting people, places and ideas in communities; supporting the discovery of new information; and becoming a hub to help communities be creators of content.

除了希望籍此文件讓民眾知道不論是在過去、現在、或是未來，圖書館一直與民眾息息相關，另一個目的是期望能夠在募款、合作、及 collective imagination 上有所幫助。
