Libraries' success requires commitment from all.
Bill Gates Sr. paid special tribute to librarians at the 2004 Public Library Association Conference for their commitment to connecting community members with information and education via books and computers. He also urged the wider community to support libraries: “If we do not work together to establish reliable funding, public libraries in many parts of the country could lose this lifeline that connects so many people to the world of education, employment, health-and their families.”
