La Biblioteca del Villaggio Prenestino, dopo l'inaugurazione, resta chiusa: Articolo 0 si mobilita. Di Angelica Basile - Lo scorso 8 Giugno era stata inaugurata una Biblioteca presso l'Istituto Comprensivo di via del Fosso dell'Osa a Villaggio Prenestino, nel Municipio VIII. In tanti erano intervenuti durante l'iniziativa, sindaco compreso. Lo slogan che invitava ad accorrere in loco per prendere parte dell'iniziativa recitava “La cultura fa centro, anche in periferia!”. E avevano risposto moltissime persone, oltre alle varie istituzioni, guardando all'apertura di questa Biblioscuola, intitolata a Giovanni Falcone e a Francesca Morvillo, come a un evento realmente positivo per il quartiere. Sicuramente, un motivo di crescita per i giovani ragazzi delle elementari e delle medie del Villaggio Prenestino.
Il movimento Articolo 0 si è personalmente interessato alla situazione in questione e, lo scorso 10 Gennaio, ha inviato un comunicato attraverso I social network, manifestando il disappunto riguardo la mancata apertura della Biblioteca.

Library of Congress and FTC will take their sites offline if gov’t shuts down. With the possibility of an American federal government shutdown looming next week as the result of the debt-ceiling crisis, at least some government websites are going dark, including the Library of Congress and the National Park Service.
It’s not exactly clear why some sites in Washington, DC, would go offline and others would stay online, nor is it clear how shutting down a government website would save any significant amount of money. “In the event of a temporary shutdown of the federal government, beginning Tuesday, October 1, all Library of Congress buildings will close to the public and researchers,” the Library of Congress wrote on its website on Friday.
“All public events will be cancelled and websites will be inaccessible.” “Many of the services offered through our websites, such as reference services and cataloging queries, require staffing,” Osterberg told Ars by e-mail.

Released: January 22, 2013 By Kathryn Zickuhr, Lee Rainie and Kristen Purcell The internet has already had a major impact on how people find and access information, and now the rising popularity of e-books is helping transform Americans’ reading habits.
In this changing landscape, public libraries are trying to adjust their services to these new realities while still serving the needs of patrons who rely on more traditional resources. In a new survey of Americans’ attitudes and expectations for public libraries, the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project finds that many library patrons are eager to see libraries’ digital services expand, yet also feel that print books remain important in the digital age. The availability of free computers and internet access now rivals book lending and reference expertise as a vital service of libraries.
Moreover, a notable share of Americans say they would embrace even wider uses of technology at libraries such as: How people use libraries. $1 Million Gates Grant to Fund Chicago, Aarhus Libraries’ Innovation Partnership | ALA Annual 2013. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel On June 30, at the Chicago Public Library’s YouMedia wing, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced a $1 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The grant will allow the Chicago Public Library (CPL) and Aarhus Public Libraries in Denmark to work together to create a new model for innovation, experimentation and decision-making within libraries. The grant is the largest of its kind ever given, according to Deborah Jacobs, director, Global Libraries, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, who said it will help the two libraries “continue pioneering new models of collaboration.”
The grant itself was actually made to the Chicago Public Library Foundation, and will fund the commission of a partnership with design firm IDEO to facilitate “re-thinking [of libraries’] traditional mix of services and programs, identifying fundamental questions about their roles in an evolving world,” said Library Commissioner Brian Bannon, a 2009 LJ Mover & Shaker.

A reflection on the changing face of a pivotal urban institution as the new £188m Library of Birmingham prepares to open to the public ©Charlie Bibby The £188m Library of Birmingham, which opens on Tuesday That wonderful, mad ambition to contain all the knowledge in the world has been with us for millennia.
The Library of Alexandria in the 3rd century BC became the archetype, an Atlantis of lost learning and a symbol of a city. Later the torch would pass from cities to monasteries and palaces, as libraries became tools with which to praise God or monuments to wealth and power. These were secret, privileged environments: the monks at their cold, hard carrels, the princes and their cabinets of curiosity, the new universities with books chained to desks and locked behind cupboard doors. It was the Enlightenment that inaugurated a rational new age based on knowledge, in which access to that knowledge was no longer seen as dangerous but as desirable. Letter in response to this article: 4 Innovative Libraries Transforming Lives Around the World. Only about a third of the world's population has access to the internet. Here in the United States, libraries have become a major source of Internet access for people who otherwise can't afford computers or net access -- and the same goes for libraries around the world.

If you love libraries in the U.S., you'll be blown away at how they transform lives in all countries.
