"To be great and to remain free, Americans must be educated, Books are
the universal medium of education whether in the school or outside - books to
find the facts behind the newsreel or broadcast - books to fit us for a jor, to
help us find it or to keep us sane thru unemployment - books to explain the
economic picture of the world changing before our eyes - books for our children
- books to enjoy.
... Books have become a necessity in an unstable world. And yet there are
forty-five million people in the United States who have no public libraries with-
in reach, Of these forty-five million citizens, forty million live in small
villages or in the open country, and having few books of their own, they are de-
prived of a basic means of education.
... The success of our democratic form of government depends on our citizen,
being intelligent and well informed - depends, that is, on wide spread education.
Our public schools provide the basis, but why do we expend effort and money
teaching young people to read and investigate where no facilities for reading
and investigation are available to them afterwards? Wherever it exists, the
library carries on and gives permanent value to the work of the schools. Our
educational system is not complete until our libraries reach everyone."
The equal chance: books help to make it. A, L. A,
