Each of our libraries is responsive to the unique needs of its local community American Library Association (ALA) Library Bill of Rights Interpretation of the ALA Library Bill of Rights Libraries are an important part of this country's system of free public education, and a cornerstone of our democratic way of life. Increasingly, they serve as community centers. Public libraries encourage reading -- at all ages, supplement school resources -- for all ages, and enable independent, lifelong learning. Libraries are changing, but staff still strive to connect users with information in the best, most accessible way, and to offer the best customer service possible. |
