Almost all of Colorado's public libraries provide electronic access to information, through ACLIN (Access Colorado Library and Information Network) and the Internet. Ninety-five percent of Colorado households reported having one or more members who used the services of a public library within the past year, according to a 1996 public opinion poll, while families with children using libraries and library technology more often. Highlights of a report on the status of school library media programs Colorado for 1994-97 are presented. The availability of after school and weekend hours of library media centers in Colorado public schools in 1997 are assessed. National statistics for the 1995-96 school year indicated that school library media programs in Colorado are typical of those in the nation as a whole. State and national surveys indicated that Coloradans and Colorado public libraries meet or exceed several national norms regarding the Internet, with Coloradans 38% more likely to be regular Internet users, and Colorado public libraries 22% more likely than libraries nationwide to provide Internet access. Another study showed that only three out of five American communities have public library outlets. (SWC)
