You still have to remain quiet in libraries, but there's something going on in many of the branches that would alarm many parents who are accustomed to sending their children to the library alone. The library used to be a nice, quiet place to go to read or study. NewsChannel5's Investigator Tom Merriman reports that at the center of a revolution in libraries are computers and access to the World Wide Web. We're not the 'shh' generation anymore.
Libraries are really fun places to be in.
Merriman says that access to the Web has radically changed the way in which patrons are served. But a new clientele with different sets of interests are flocking to area libraries. On May 19, three bounty hunters walked into the Langston Hughes Library branch carrying a semiautomatic rifle and two handguns. They were hoping to find out some information on the Internet, Merriman says. We're here to serve them, and get them what they need.
