Before Andrew Carnegie's philanthropy, before the turn of the twentieth century, public libraries were a rarity. Large collections of books were for the wealthy, for the intellectual elite, and definitely not for commoners.However, personal experience prompted the industrialist to realize that libraries created opportunities for the working man, and that opportunities lead to empowerment.
Public libraries are somewhat unique institutions. They're a resource of resources that can literally serve a patron from birth to death.Public libraries can complement one's "formal" education, and do so completely independent from public school systems' whims, petty politics and quality levels. Social hierarchies, economic class distinctions, racism, intolerance and other forms of nonsense end at a library's door. Inside a public library, knowledge is king, and everything else is, at least temporarily, insignificant.

How many people? Arlington Aug 28 2008, 4:36 PM In a recent letter to the editor I warned of the law of unintended consequences when it came to changes made for the sake of fighting global warming. If you were paying close attention to the news, you would notice that we are already starting to see some of these consequences. Food prices have soared as grain crops are diverted to biofuels as directed by government law in some countries and influenced by subsidies in others. Land once used to grow food is now being used to produce ethanol. The law of supply and demand has kicked in raising prices. Food riots have erupted in Africa and Asia.
We are seeing very real problems arising from our attempt to address a perceived, by some, problem that evidence is mounting to tell us may not even be real or appreciably influenced by human actions.
