  3. We are the connection between our patrons and technology. • Public libraries need to embrace digital and technological skills as part of our deep mission to support (digital) literacy. • This model, where libraries support an expanded idea of literacy, puts the patron at the center of the library.  The library is about supporting and improving the patron’s life.  It is about allowing the patron to move from consumer to maker, breaker, creator and repairer.   http://mlissinginaction.wordpress.com/2013/10/28/the-deep-mission-of-public-libraries/
