“Well-run libraries are filled with people because what a good library offers cannot be easily found elsewhere: an indoor public space in which you do not have to buy anything in order to stay.” Zadie Smith

BARACK OBAMA & BIBLIOTECAS

"More than a building that houses books and data, the library has always been a window to a larger world..."


"I also want to work with you to insure that libraries continue to be sanctuaries for learning, where we are free to read and consider what we please, without the fear of Big Brother peering menacingly over our shoulders."


Estes são excertos do discurso proferido pelo congressista (agora Presidente) Obama no congresso da ALA (American Library Association) em 2005 e que vale a pena ler, aqui.
