  3. How do we get to where we want to go?

  4. Libraries and Learning The Public Library: A living force for popular education The Public Library: A Democratic Agency for Education The public library is a product of modern democracy and a practical demonstration of democracy’s faith in universal education as a life-long process. … citizens of democracy have need of such opportunities for self education at all times. The complexity and instability of life today make this an urgent one. UNESCO, Public Library Manifesto May 1949
