Building the Capacity of Idaho's Libraries!

Idaho Digital Natives Speak

  • "I think the coffee shops look really modern (in their) interiors, and (have) comfy chairs." Followed by agreement from another participant: "I wish the library was like that."
  • "Our age group does not go to the library … if they're in there, they're probably either in a school library, or they're in there for school purposes."
  • Regarding librarians: "You can ask them really anything, and they'll know it; you know, about a book, or something. And they want to tell you, so they're really happy to."
  • "I want a librarian that's enthusiastic about what he or she does, to pass on that enthusiasm … more or less advertise the library so that more people are interested in going."
  • "Maybe have like a teen council or something, a group of kids that would get together and organize events … that would help them reach out to a younger community. The stuff now, you can tell adults organize it, like "let's have a kid reading competition," or something."
