The future of libraries: talking tech with Seattle's City Librarian

When most people think of their public library, technological innovation isn’t exactly top of mind — but Seattle’s City Librarian Marcellus Turner is working to change that. On this episode of the GeekWire podcast, Todd Bishop and Frank Catalano talk with Marcellus to hear about how new tech initiatives are changing the libraries and how citizens can shape those initiatives at an upcoming Community Conversation event. He also gives us tips on some existing tech resources that you might be surprised to learn about.
