BBC program on libraries

I haven't listened yet but the Board Chair of the Edmonton (Alberta) Public Library posted this note to an Alberta-focused library listserv, Jerome-L: "An excellent program, aired February 8, on public libraries, including interviews with the director of The British Library, the European rep for Google, and the director of libraries for Tower Hamlets, a multicultural/working class suburb of London which has moved to the concept of "Idea Stores". Listen in Real Audio. Click on libraries and then Listen Again."

The BBC site says: "If you can get the information that you want, wherever you happen to be, why would you visit a library? And if you don't, what use will all that public space be put to?"

And I haven't listened because I don't have RealPlayer loaded on my work laptop...this broadcast requires RealPlayer.
