#28 The Future of Washington D.C. Public Libraries (with Richard Reyes-Gavilan)

Richard Reyes-Gavilan, executive director of District of Columbia Public Library, discusses libraries' evolution from mainly repositories of information to “engines of human capital,” how library patrons increasingly are becoming "creators" rather than simply "consumers," and how the D.C. system is building new libraries for a booming population and crafting some unusual public-private partnerships along the way.
