Importance of Libraries in Rural Communities

This has not been posted through the media but might be of interest to many of you. Students from the University of Florida came to the Archer Branch Library here in Alachua County because they wanted to do a brief documentary about the importance of a public library in that town and to the town residents. This was completely unsolicited, a bit unpolished, but to the point. It could be used as an advocacy tool to support funding for rural libraries and to highlight the importance of e-government services.

I have permission from the students to use and distribute this video. Let me know what you think.
