Anyone who loves to read loves a library. The sight of thousands of books organized on shelves; the smell of old books mixed with new ones; the sound of a librarian silencing a noisy visitor, are all part of a book-lover’s dream. But libraries are much more than that. In this digital age, libraries and the experts who run them help bridge the digital divide between those with technology and those without. Librarians help people find important information in a huge sea of material. They support literacy and a love of reading. This is true in normal times. But libraries and librarians are even more valuable since the 2020 coronavirus, which forced most students into online education.
