This Week at Your Library
By Jill Mackey
Number FIVE on the American Library Asspciation's list of"12
Ways Libraries Are Good For the Country" is to NOURISH CRE-
ATIVITY. "Libraries are not only repositories of books, they are
repositories of images, objects that communicate without words
In the library we axe all children. By stimulating curiosity- parent
to the twin forces of creativity and imagination - even the most
focused and specialized library serves the purpose of lifting the
mind beyond its horizons (We all) need to discover new ways of
looking at the problems and questions that confront us There
is simply no choice for a society that wants to adapt and evolve:
A library is a necessity, as basic as food and shelter."
