You can compare this view of Enniskillen with its companion photo taken approximately 100 years earlier as part of the Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991, where one thousand photographs from the Lawrence Collection in the National Library of Ireland were replicated a hundred years later by a team of volunteer photographers, thereby creating a record of the changing face of the selected locations all over Ireland.

A teenage boy enjoys the computer services at the Union County Carnegie Library. A recent University of Washington study reported that people from all walks of life are using computers and Internet access at public libraries, regardless of their income, race, and level of education. Teenagers are the most active users, with half of 14- to 18- year olds using them primarily for homework. (Union, South Carolina, 2009)
