Escaping the Echo Chamber: Advocacy outside our own circle.
“So, in short, are libraries in decline? No. However, the narrative is not being controlled by the profession but by those who either do not understand the service or are trying to undermine it for their own ends. The best way to challenge these myths? Personally, I agree with others who say there is a need to break out of the ‘echo chamber’ and take back control of the narrative. Only then can we bury the myth that libraries are irrelevant in the digital age.”

'Libraries hold up the lamps by whose light we expand and grow, grant us glimpses into other lives, support our skills and our understanding, speak across distance and time and race and culture.' Kari's story
'Libraries are places where people of all ages, outlooks, backgrounds, incomes, circumstances and opinions meet and mix.' Lisa's story
