Democracy depends on an educated citizenry and equal oportunities for all. Libraries make that possible.

The library helps both the environment and my budget--I borrow books instead of buying them!

Thanks to everyone who participated! We had some wonderful responses. Our winning response was "Every time we enter the library we say 'Who is up for an adventure?' We choose where we want to go and learn about the topic we chose."
