As we break ground for the expansion of our Library, I find myself reflecting on what value we add to our community.
On any particular day, a visitor to our library
may ponder public policy and current issues,
discuss a variety of book topics,
listen to a lecture on art, music or literature,
view a film,
learn computer skills,
bring a child to Storytime, a craft program or to be tutored by a volunteer.
If a person cannot visit the library,
we bring the library to them,
with our Bookmobile or homebound delivery.
Trained professional librarians help residents
use the discovery tools and materials
on every subject,
from all perspectives,
in a full range of formats
that enrich their lives
and contribute to an information-smart community.

How eloquently put! And a lovely reminder of a wonderful resource that we take too much for granted.
