Americans go to school, public and academic libraries more than twice as often as they go to the movies.
There are more public libraries (16,220, including branches) than McDonald's restaurants (13,000) in the U.S.
Reference librarians in the nation's public and academic libraries answer more than 7 million questions weekly. Standing single file, the line of questioners would stretch from Boston to San Francisco.
Americans spend more than three times as much on salty snacks as they do on public libraries.
Simple Stories about ValueSimple Stories about Value
Florida Florida's public libraries return $6.54 for every
$1.00 invested from all sources! South Carolina The total direct and indirect return on investment
for every $1 expended on the state’s public libraries by SC State and local governments is $4.48—almost 350%!

You Know You're Web 2.0 You Know You're Web 2.0 When...When...
You can easily comment on, or preferably, actually change the content that you find on a Web site. You can label your information with tags and use them to find that information again. Your Web page doesn't reload even once as you get a whole lotta work done. You are actively aware of other users' recent activity on a site. It's possible for you to easily share with others the information you're contributing on the Web site. You can syndicate your information on a Web site elsewhere on the Internet through a feed like RSS
or Atom. You can pick and choose the pieces of a Web site that you like and then add that functionality to your
own site.
There are easy ways to find out what content is the most popular or interesting at the moment. You heard about a new Web site because a friend enthusiastically recommended it to you out of the
blue. There happens to be a mind boggling amount information and a lot of people on a site, yet it seems
easy to find what you want and communicate with others. Everything you ever added to a given Web site can be removed easily at your whim. The Web site actively encourages you to share and reuse its information and its services with
others. And it even provides a license to do so.
