RMA: Greenwich Library in a Digital Age

Join the Retired Men’s Association of Greenwich as Barbara Ormerod-Glynn presents “Greenwich Library in a Digital Age”. On an average day, nearly 2,000 people enter one of the Greenwich Library’s 3 sites, making it one of the most popular services in the area and the busiest public library in Connecticut. Most days the 100 public PCs with Internet access are in full use, the conference rooms are booked solid, and parking can be a challenge. E-books continue to replace use of hard copy books: “Use of e-books and audiobooks continue to grow in popularity since they can be downloaded from our website 24/7… However, while it may be more convenient – and economical when traveling – there’s something about the allure of turning printed pages that seemingly can’t be beat.”
Barbara Ormerod-Glynn, the Director of the Greenwich Libraries, will discuss what brought the Library into such widespread service to the community, what it offers now, and where it might be going in a world that is rapidly digitizing.
