For years libraries have been providing access and training to 
technology through their services and programs. Kids can learn to code, 
build a robot, and make a movie with an iPad at the library. But what 
can they do when they get home? How can libraries expand their reach to 
help more than just the youth they see every day? The Meridian Library 
(ID) <http://www.mld.org/> has chosen to start circulating new types of 
technology. Want to learn about Arduinos? Check one out from our 
library! What is a Raspberry Pi? You get 4 weeks to figure it out. 
Robots too expensive to buy? Too many iPad apps to choose from? Test 
it from your library first. Join Megan Egbert to discover benefits, 
opportunities and best practices.
