Support for Libraries

There is nothing cozier than curling up in your favorite blanket with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. When the cold weather persuades you to stay indoors, make sure you have your tools at the ready.

"...An individual may make progress without books, but the people as a whole are dependent on them. Where there is the most leisure and the least outside diversion the need for books and the benefits from them are greatest. Provision for...libraries would be a public service of the first importance."

From "Calvin Coolidge Says" a syndicated newspaper column April 30, 1931

Forbes Library thanks you for your support.

He's quite right, as he so often was. Now there's leisure and diversion both, but "the people" need books as much as they ever did. Thanks.
