COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
“As book bannings and
removals from schools
increase, history is hidden and
denied, LGBTQ+ literature is
suppressed, libraries remain
a trusted bastion of all
literature. This deserves my
support.”

“When I was growing up I was
at the library several times a
week to check out books or do
research for school projects. I
was an avid reader and enjoyed
browsing the stacks. I support
the Foundation because I
want all children regardless
of 昀椀nancial status or ethnicity,
background, etc. to have the
same opportunities I had as
a child. The library is a great
equalizer.”

“I believe in libraries! Libraries
have been my source for
books my whole life and
reading has always been my
joy. I particularly appreciate
the advocacy the Library
Foundation does at City Hall,
preventing budget cuts and
increasing the money given
to our libraries. Thank you,
thank you!”
