Apprivoiser le futur.

The article focuses on the role of media libraries in France in the promotion and diffusion of music to the public. The author discusses how libraries are seeking to remain relevant to users in a new media world that allows for the downloading of music from home and does not require listeners to purchase or borrow CDs. Media libraries can serve an important role in the diffusion of regional music and offer cataloging of musical genres as well as public forums with musicians.
