More than just shelves of books, America’s public libraries are sanctuaries of hope, learning, and community—open to everyone, free of charge, and unwavering even in the hardest times. 📚✨
Think about this: there are more public libraries than McDonald’s in the U.S. And during the Great Depression, when banks and schools shut down, not a single public library closed its doors.
They are more than buildings—they are promises: that knowledge belongs to all, and that in every town, there’s a place where hope still lives. ❤️
