Thank you Ruth for your clarity, sharing personal library experiences and connecting the dots with historical facts. Without this essay, we may have failed to realize this institution /pillar of democracy requires our watchful support, vigilance & active fostering. I love my library, my towns librarians and the experience of a library with all the books, ideas and perspectives in squashed square footage. Without the beloved library and books of your hometown you may have missed the opportunity to write, publish and share widely and to Lucid at this critical crossroad where we are so in need of guidance to understand history and patterns developing on the horizon. Gratitude for all books and authors freely writing.
