The Future Looks Bright for Librarianship Empirical data paint a far different future of career prospects in librarianship. According to a recently published report on “The Future of Skills” by Pearson, a publishing and educational company, who conducted research with Nesta and Oxford University, “Librarians, curators, and archivists” will be the ninth most in demand occupation group in coming years. Librarians will be more in demand in 2030 than media and communication workers, construction trade workers, and others, according to the report. http://publiclibrariesonline.org/2017/12/the-future-looks-bright-for-librarianship /

RISING TO THE CHALLENGE: RE-ENVISIONING PUBLIC LIBRARIES “The library is first and foremost a place…a place that promotes development in society. It is the family room of a community. That’s the vision, that’s the future.” The Dialogue on Public Libraries was created to help advance the work that public libraries are doing to address community challenges and to support the transformation of public libraries for the digital age. http://csreports.aspeninstitute.org/m/dialogue-on-public-libraries/2014/report
