[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As other posters have, I want to remind you that public libraries are not accessible to all. I work in a very high poverty school where some families are often unfamiliar with the advent of public libraries or their usefulness, and many of the adults are not literate in their home language. [/quote] Having lived in other countries, the library system in the US is great. In one country, you need to pay to enter the library! I agree many parents may not know much about public libraries, but is enough being done to get the word out? For example, are kids in school made aware of their public library and all the resources available? The libraries have great events too -- I wonder if word is getting out enough. We go to some events, and the turnout does not reflect the diversity of the county.[/quote]
