Libraries Transform Lives
Libraries provide opportunities for anyone to gain knowledge—without judgment. Access to library resources and services change lives on a daily basis.
"…there are also moments when a book can save our life. I remember listening to a new author talk about what had been a very oppressive childhood that by the time she was 13 had lead to a deep sense of hopelessness till the day she found a book at her small local library. The novel had a protagonist that mirrored her experience and for the first time in her young life she realized she wasn’t alone and there were choices to be made. It changed everything and opened up her limited vision beyond the stifling neighborhood where she lived."
Don’t allow anyone to lose the opportunity to learn and explore. Keep library doors open. Talk about public library funding in your community. Your voice matters.
