Black Community Blacks Branch Libraries Budgets Disadvantaged Library Role Library Services Public Libraries Speeches Urban Areas Major social institutions repeatedly reinforce the deprivation of the urban disadvantaged. Libraries, as the "Universities of the People," must commit themselves to the promotion of a better standard of life for all people, especially the poor. A close look at priorities is especially important if libraries are to pursue their mission in a time of financial austerity. A library should be responsive to the needs of its particular community. A possible alternative to closing branch libraries is to provide equality but not uniformity of service in all parts of a city. (KB)
