With no Internet at home, Miami-Dade kids crowd libraries for online homework

Long waits for a computer offer a flip side to the current debate over how best to reinvent Miami-Dade’s libraries. That discussion has largely focused on how to attract people with no current interest in libraries -- entrepreneurs who need office space, twenty-somethings who might like a Starbucks near the checkout counter, and 3-D printers for the “maker” movement of techie do-it-yourselfers. Yet for families without access to online homework, libraries are already the place to be on school nights. It’s just the lack of computers that has them complaining.
