Public Libraries Maintain Focus

Many public libraries in the U.S. face funding challenges that have forced them to do more with less. Remarkably, these libraries still work to evolve, so they can provide the resources and services needed by their communities. “Libraries, in every way, work for us,” stated writer Cat Johnson in a recent article posted on the online magazine Shareable. “They are what we want them to be and they are constantly evolving to keep up with our changing needs. They are funded primarily by tax dollars and their mission is to provide free and open access to information. They are committed to bridging the digital divide, enriching communities and supporting individuals in reaching their personal potential. And they need our help.”
