“A library book…is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, is their only capital.” - Thomas Jefferson
My mother and my father were illiterate immigrants from Russia. When I was a child they were constantly amazed that I could go to a building and take a book on any subject. They couldn’t believe this access to knowledge we have here in America. They couldn’t believe that it was free. - Kirk Douglas
The public library is an American institution as precious as free public education, democratic elections, and due process. The public library is the embodiment of a radical idea – everyone has a right to acquire knowledge and improve themselves!
The Villard Avenue Library is our neighborhood’s American Dream. Not only is this library the center of learning, exploration and self-improvement for thousands of near northwest side families, it is an extraordinary economic anchor for Villard Avenue and the entire neighborhood.
For years, concerned citizens have fought the good fight to save the Villard Avenue Library from the budget chopping block. This year, facing another go-round of service reductions, the neighborhood is saying no to any more concessions. We refuse to participate in the further erosion of our community’s economic and intellectual quality.
Residents of this neighborhood know that great cities need great libraries! We want a new library – a beautiful, open, robust library that will attract sustainable investment in people, in the local economy, and a quality of life that is uniquely American.
