Last week, RI Congressman Jim Langevin visited Cranston Public Library’s C Lab and later shared his impressions on his Facebook page. OLIS’ Chief of Library Services, Karen Mellor, was with the Congressman at the Cranston Public Library and OLIS was delighted to share the Congressman’s post on the OLIS Facebook page.
On his Facebook page, Congressman Langevin asked: “When was the last time you visited your local library?” On his blog, he reflects on that question and writes:
“While you may fail to see the immediate importance of the question, I would argue that libraries are essential centers of our communities. Improving literacy and increasing access to books, newspapers and other resources are admirable goals. But libraries do so much more, and are increasingly charged with doing more with less.” read more
The Congressman goes on to write about all the opportunities you can discover at the library and many roles of the librarians who are resources within resources! Please read the Congressman’s blog post online in it’s entirety. It’s a great day when libraries get a shout-out like this one!
