Working for the Fourth of July
By howard | July 3, 2009
A thought for the 4th: It is an informed citizenry that makes it possible for us to keep the convenant of the fourth of July. We are able to continue celebrating our Independence because we actively maintain it. It’s a particularly special celebration for us library folks as we devote our working hours to making sure citizens can find out what they need to know to participate in our democracy; that our children can learn to independently discover information, turn it into knowledge and apply it to the making of their communities; and that there is a space in every community where all can take part. Many thanks to all who help in that work. Happy Fourth of July. Fireworks, please!
