How to create environments for Boomers and Gamers in
your library
In the next five years, Gamers will be the dominant demographic for
your libraries. Nonetheless, you don’t want to do anything that

retaining these growing segments is giving each one what it wants.

repositories, quiet reading spaces, coffee shops or busy community centers.
They are engines that pump millions of dollars into local and state
economies.
The new service makes it possible to analyze and compare online the
age, subject content and uniqueness of your collection with peer libraries.
