Today's libraries also function as de facto community centers, and offer free access to the Internet, job-hunting assistance, or a warm place to take shelter along with the endless possibilities that spark your imagination the moment you open the cover of a book. There are more than 17,000 public libraries in America. Over the last eighteen years, photographer Robert Dawson has traveled the nation, documenting hundreds of these institutions--from Alaska to Florida, New England to the West Coast. The Public Library presents a wide selection of Dawson's photographs, revealing a vibrant, essential, yet seriously threatened system. Essays, letters, and poetry by a collection of America's most celebrated writers--including E. B. White, Isaac Asimov, Anne Lamott, Amy Tan, Charles Simic, Dr. Seuss, and Philip Levine, as well as the voices of dedicated librarians working today--are woven with photographs of the majestic reading room at the New York Public Library; the one-room Tulare County Free Library built by former slaves, in Allensworth, California; the architectural wonder of Seattle's glass and steel Central Library; and the Berkeley, California tool lending library; among many others. A foreword by Bill Moyers and an afterword by Ann Patchett bookend this important survey of a treasured American institution"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked out 06/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 027.473 Pu Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
