“Libraries are central to the vitality of our neighborhoods. They give kids a place to go after school. They bring opportunities to the public and provide access to technology. In our digital age, libraries are more important than ever—bringing people together and breaking down isolation in our culture.”
— Linda Schacht Gage, Chair,
Neighborhood Libraries Campaign
