America's Democratic Spirit in Action (Articles) Jim Hightower:
A touching article about the worth of libraries. Excerpt: "Libraries in particular embody the collective story of a place, which makes each library richly unique. Yet, the wonderful uniqueness of each is made more wonderful by a crucial, underlying sameness, which is that they all exist to serve the common good of the community.
This is why libraries matter in a way that, say, a Barnes & Noble cannot. These public institutions are democratic by nature, making their resources open to all, thus giving legs to America's historic pursuit of egalitarianism."
