Blog Excerpt: Examining the Future of Books – Part 2 | Protecting the Future of Our Libraries
Today’s
library has become, quite literally, the only great equalizer in our society.
It is a place where economic status, race, gender and citizenship are
irrelevant, a place where everyone is welcome and can get equal access to
knowledge that can help them better their lives and the lives of their
children. In a world where people bunker down and socialize and shop only
with people exactly like themselves, in many communities, libraries have also
become the only place where we run into people different from us, the only
place where we have a chance to see and hear other voices. In many ways,
what libraries give communities today is the living embodiment of what you will
find on the shelves of these libraries: respect for all voices, an acknowledgement
that we all have something to say, and a reminder that we are better as a
species when we listen to and learn from one another. Read more
