Did you know that Librarians Helped Tame the Wild West?

Enjoy this recent article from the Chicago Tribune titled Librarians Helped Tame Wild West.

While there have been many changes and advancements in the Library profession in the past 100 years, I think Betsy Hearne's ending statement about librarians, "The librarian was a kind of apostle for culture. They were missionaries for literacy, knowledge and culture," continues to be true in today's world.

When was the last time you visited your Public Library?
