Save the libraries - a nation's great equalizers | csmonitor.com: Excerpt: "What would America be without its public libraries? We may get a chance to find out because libraries are facing unprecedented economic challenges...As in other times of economic uncertainty, more Americans are depending on the libraries' free resources. Beyond books, periodicals, CDs, tapes, and videos, libraries provide free Internet and e-mail service, which are valuable resources for people looking for college loans, jobs, vital medical knowledge, or small-business opportunities.
With big budget cuts, however, fewer of us find these services readily available when we need them, especially Internet resources found on libraries' shrinking computer facilities."
