Public Libraries Enrich Lives
Public libraries provide a unique opportunity for anyone to access not only books, but technology and all kinds of information and resources. Yet, libraries cannot continue to play the important role they currently have in American communities without continued support.
In a recent newspaper column, Kathleen Gerard, a freelance writer from New Jersey, said: “If we keep chipping away at our libraries, we’ll be going backwards, betraying the dream of the founders who gave of themselves and followed their vision, laying the foundation to make the library a local place to further our educations, cultivate our minds and passions, and enrich the lives of ordinary people like me who have their own stories to live... and to tell.”
