This is an example of a statement about the role of libraries in society and may be more broadly stated than what we envision for our agenda. But it provides a nice framework for discussion. Take a look at the five bullet points.
  • Commission on Freedom and Equality of Access to Information, Dennis Day, Chair, Freedom and Equality of Access to Information: Report to the American Library Association, (Chicago, ALA, 1986)
  • Firestone, Charles M. and Jorge Reina Schement, Toward and Information Bill of Rights and Responsibilities (Washington, DC: Aspen Institute, 1995)
  • The Friends of Libraries USA National Advisory Council issued the following (undated) statement:
We believe in the library for its
Nurturing of our children and youth, opening doors to the wonder and excitement of the world of ideas;
Dedication to literacy, giving to all a key to fulfillment;
Commitment to diversity, a foundation of pluralism, democracy and peace;
Reservoir of memory, linking records of yesterday with the possibilities of tomorrow;
Continuum of knowledge, ever open to changing form and flow of information;
Treasury of reading, where muse and spirit enrich the soul, and dreams excite discovery.
For these reasons, the Library is central to our lives, and we pledge ourselves steadfast in its support.
Signers were: James Billington, John Updike, Vartan Gregorian, Cecil Green, Toni Morrison, Richard Wilbur, Joe Paterno, and Wally Amos.
This is geared specifically to public libraries.
This one addresses the importance of school libraries.
This reading “bill of rights” for Indiana’s young adolescents delineates what young adolescents deserve to receive from the community with regard to reading materials and support. What if we developed something similar for what people can expect from all libraries?
