SUMMARY:Cradles of Culture: The American Libraries Story
DESCRIPTION:Libraries in America truly have been cradles of culture. From 
 colonial times on\, libraries have been preferred gathering locations for 
 American communities. For over 250 years they have collected\, preserved\, 
 and passed along useful information. Through the careful storage and 
 dissemination of knowledge\, first via books and other printed documents 
 and more recently through electronic means\, they have educated and 
 entertained generations of Americans. Moreover\, libraries have been 
 showcases of architectural style\, from modest colonial buildings to 19th 
 century neoclassic edifices and contemporary\, modernist landmarks. With 
 Carnegie endowments\, technology from the Dewey Decimal System\, and online 
 public catalogs combined with the rise of library science and dedicated 
 staff\, libraries have succeeded as intellectual refuges. They welcome both 
 individuals and groups\, hosting events of many kinds: lectures\, 
 celebrations\, student collaborations\, and of course\, for the weary\, 
 comfortable spots to relax and renew the spirit. Typically open to all and 
 free of charge\, libraries are the linchpin of a healthy democracy\, one 
 that admirably enables the pursuit of happiness. Presented by architect 
 Joseph Madda. \n\nRegister if you'd like a reminder prior to the program. 
 You can also opt to receive a text message reminder. All links and any 
 specific event details will still be sent via email. A recording of the 
 program will be available on the library's YouTube channel within a few 
 days and will be emailed to all registrants.
