My neighborhood library in Algiers is STILL operating out of a trailer. Pre-Katrina it was a vital and flourishing library. Before I bought my Dell, I used the computers at this branch and checked out videos rather than pay for them at Blockbuster or whatever. I Strongly believe in the library concept as an important contribution to the community.
Back in the day, when I was a child in rural Mississippi, the book mobile was an exciting and welcome institution. Studying at the public library in high school was a weekly routine.
The library is an important institution in American culture….especially for the under-privileged.
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY. SUPPORT THE CHILDREN OF YOUR COMMUNITY. SUPPORT PUBLIC EDUCATION.
