Our CEO, Kelly Hiser, gives an overview of YaharaMusic.org in her ongoing series of blog posts for the Library as Incubator Project. Kelly talks about her experience working on the project, creating a site the fosters active fandom, and growing a diverse collection that reflects the musical variety on offer in Madison.
Xconomy reporter Jeff Engel sez:
The Rabble is forming at a time when public libraries are dealing with people’s media consumption habits changing from paper books and plastic CDs to e-books and digital music. Austin doesn’t think those societal shifts signal the end of libraries. Instead, they’re evolving to add new services, while also getting back to their roots as a “community hub,” he says.
