No narrow definition of community will work in a library. Each community has its libraries and its special collections. Community-building means libraries link people with information. Librarians have become experts at helping others navigate the Internet. Before there was talk of cyberspace, there were libraries, paving the way for the superhighway.

The American family's best friend, the library, offers services guaranteed to hone coping skills. Libraries offend everyone. If you are not offended by something we own, please complain. Libraries offer sanctuary . Like synagogues, churches, mosques, and other sacred spaces, libraries can create a physical reaction, a feeling of peace, respect, humility, and honor that throws the mind wide open and suffuses the body with a near-spiritual pleasure.
