They are not just coming for the books. They are coming for the sense of community the library provides. They are coming for everyone's ability to seek knowledge without paying for it. They are coming for our traditions. They are coming to stop us from learning our history and recognizing it.

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.
