   Nobody ever accused Missoula of being a major metro area :)  I should   
   cruise by more often to see what the utilization is. I'm guilty of using   
   the libby app to borrow digital books delivered via Amazon without setting   
   foot in the library. Times are changing. The new library does have   
   physical books but a lot of floor space is devoted to a childrens'   
   discovery area, the maker space, a video creation area, and even a demo   
   kitchen.
