Public libraries withstand the tests of a digital time - a podcast by Marketplace

It was once thought that libraries as we knew them would eventually disappear as the digital economy grew. That’s not the case, as senior economics contributor Chris Farrell stops in to tell us that not only are libraries still relevant – they are still strong pillars of the communities they inhabit. We also hear about markets from the BBC after a volatile Monday, and we also look into how Maine and California are offering free meals to public school students.

The story about free lunch for students in this episode contained an error that has been corrected. For more information, visit the episode page at marketplace.org
