55. Why libraries should have a mobile presence. “Mobile phones create new kinds of bounded places that merge the infrastructures of geography and technology, as well as techno-social practices thatmerge technical standards and social norms."

Plus mobile phones have surpassed PCs and landline phones combined, so your potential audience is huge!
