For many years, libraries, much like museums, were trapped in the stereotype of being archaic, dusty facilities that rested at the bottom of the average person’s list of fun or entertaining places to spend an evening or weekend afternoon. Over the past few years, however, as these institutions have found various uses for advancing technologies, perceptions have changed for the better.
