Library is not what objects it holds, rather how these objects are used. Library offers things such as space, relationships, trust, understanding, and opportunities. Library speaks to the whole person, not just the intellect. Library is a place where nothing is surplus. Library is a place where needs are met and wants are encouraged. Library is a place where old becomes gold, literally. Library is a space where there is no depreciation, there is only appreciation. The death of a library causes the death of civilization. Read to live. Read to write. Invest in knowledge. It pays the best interest.
