Libraries are more than just buildings full of books. These vital institutions ensure everyone gets access to the information and resources they need. As community hubs, libraries empower patrons by fostering literacy, encouraging civic participation, improving media literacy, and making our neighborhoods stronger, which is key for a healthy democracy.
