Libraries are ‘hip’?

From MSNBC:
Library Hip As Economy Suffers
Now Google tells me that “Hip is a slang term meaning fashionably current.”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_(slang) (hep too!)
I wonder how many people still say hip…?
Oh well. I’ll take publicity any way I can get it.
Twenty three skidoo all you cool cats.
