Digital literacy is "the ability to effectively and critically navigate, evaluate and create information using a range of digital technologies." The training and assistance that libraries are uniquely positioned to provide help build the skills that Americans need in the 21st century. This work will also cement your library's reputation as community anchor that strengthens the local network of learning. If your library is your communities' only free resource for the Internet, technology, and information, digital literacy means more than you may think.
