Connection

In a world increasingly digital and with real human connections at risk since covid, I believe in the power of community hubs like libraries.

With two small children with who I am trying to limit dependency on screens, a free and social access to diverse and wonderful books is so critical.

Have a safe space where people without the means for easy access to reference materials or the Internet these places are invaluable.

As a social centre where you can mix with all types of people, organise local events and publicise local important issues, libraries can do this.

I think we can further extend the value of these amazing spaces with more community access. Please don't close the libraries. Our future generations and vulnerable people depend on then.
