Quote of the Week<\/b><\/p>\n

“\u201cThe question once was, \u2018What can a library be?\u2019 Today the question is, \u2018What can a library do?\u2019 Formerly it was a question of resources, of number of books, of wealth, of material. Now, it is rather a question of effectiveness, of vitality, of influence in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Springfield (Mass.) Public Library Director John Cotton Dana, 1898, in Chalmers Hadley, John Cotton Dana: A Sketch (Chicago: ALA, 1943), pp. 40\u201341.
