Abstract
Trends in computer and telecommunications technol‐ogy are likely to push the public library out of its traditional markets — providing recreational reading and information for adults — sometime in the next century. If the public library is not to become marginalized, it needs to begin to move aggressively to develop services which address the educational needs of children and youth. Historical indifference to the needs of children and youth must be overcome, and public libraries must make kids their highest priority.
