“What happened was that I started to noticed a trend during the interviews at public libraries. Even the places that touted their tech classes, virtual homework help, and text/chat/email reference services balked when I discussed technology literacy and its importance for children and families. I even had one library director look at me as though I was either some strange new species he’d just run afoul of in the jungle, or plain crazy. He then proceeded to ask me why I thought technology literacy was important, and after touting a few studies and articles, and my own observations, he said, “Well, we just don’t see much importance in that right now. We are focused on literacy, the book kind.” Understand that this was the director of a library that serves a population in the tens of thousands and includes several schools.”
