“U.K. Libraries Jump Into the Net”
Wired News with a positive article about the Peoples Network in the U.K. From the article, “…an ambitious U.K. project, the People’s Network, which will see all of the United Kingdom’s more than 4,000 libraries linked to the Internet to become access-and-learning centers by the end of this year. The project will see 30,000 terminals installed, stuffed with digital delights like e-mail, browsing, office applications, digital imaging and video conferencing. “Libraries have proven to be the natural place to get people online. Over 60 percent of the population has a library card, and borrowing a book from the library is one of the country’s five most popular pastimes, five times more popular than going to a professional football game.”
