"Libraries are so much more than storehouses for books. They are crucial pieces of social infrastructure." #librarylife #libraries bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Libraries Can Unite a Lonely, Divided Nation

The time has come for a “Great Reknitting” across America. The country’s most egalitarian institutions — its public libraries — are a crucial place to start.

@SLCPL Is really a wonderful place. It's easy to spend the day getting lost in there. In the autumn and winter the gas fireplaces are on and nice to sit near, in a comfy chair and lost in a good book!📖📚📚 onlyinyourstate.com/utah/boo…
