Micro connections between Louise Riley Library and its communities

Libraries are critical components of a city’s knowledge and social infrastructure. They serve as learning centres and provide reliable information to the community. They also serve as meeting hubs for various communities in the neighbourhood. While the digital technology of the twenty-first century first called into question the traditional library operations, libraries have evolved and found new footing in our present information age. The way we obtain and consume information has changed dramatically, but our need for shared, community-centred spaces to learn and connect with others is unlikely to change anytime soon. How are libraries, particularly the Louise Riley Library, meeting this need and building relationships with the communities it serves?
