“Libraries are places of wonder for all ages. As children…to sit in story time, get their first library card. As teens…a place to meet friends while doing homework.

They are the hub of each community and to lose a library is a sad thing that undermines the ties of the community.”

“It might be easier to access Granny’s 80-year-old diaries than it is to access your now-defunct Friendster profile; it may be more possible to recover sound from a wax cylinder than from a digital audio tape circa 1987.”
