Library Fact of the Day: 6.The US Census reports that 68.7% of households have Internet access. This means millions of teens, mostly from low socioeconomic households, must rely on school and public libraries for computers and access to the Internet. From library computers teens do more than just complete homework assignments. They investigate college and career opportunities. They connect with potential employers, apply for jobs, find internships, create and post resumes, connect with mentors and gain hands-on computer skills training. Teens also build communication skills as they use library computers to stay in touch with friends and family through web 2.0 tools.
