Margaret Johnson-Hodge on Libraries: Essential as the air we breathe


Closing most Cobb libraries not realistic. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 4/11/2011)

Excerpt:  You see, a library is more than books. It is more than the people who staff them, and the rows and rows of tomes that fills its space. Libraries are refuge for the overwhelmed mind and respite from a technical age. Libraries are lifelines to the outside world and the hope for a better life. Libraries empower the spirit and uplift the soul. Libraries educate and liberate. They are as essential as the air we breathe.
