Where is the most innovative library in the US?
Smithsonian Magazine has decided that the most innovative library in the country is the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library in Memphis.
What makes the library so innovative? Memphis is not a wealthy town, but a decision was made to expand rather than cut the library’s budget, in contrast to many wealthier communities in the US. The Benjamin Hooks Library went on to hose naturalization ceremonies, job fairs, cooking classes, film screenings, music performances, dances and more. Patrons can check out laptops, sewing machines, and bike repair kits.
