What do these do that makes them world changing? For beginnings, they do one thing very well. It doesn't matter what that thing is, but they do it well. Then tey add other things.

Not setting the bar too high, but libraries do change lives! Would your website be listed as one that changed your community? Why? If not, what would you do to make it so.
