Libraries are still kickin'

There was a great blog posting yesterday, passed on to me, mentioning 33 reasons why libraries are still important. Beyond the idea of libraries providing access to items & services to people who cannot, for various reasons, afford admission to, the notion of the library as space is vital. Vital, not only in a physical sense, but also in the cultural arena libraries create. We need spaces were we can come to define and develop identities; our collective and individual awareness of self. The "space" of a library, both physical and cultural, generates a forum for expression and learning. This is especially important in a pluralistic and diverse society.
