I Support Utah Libraries
I support public and school libraries in Utah!
Why is this important?
I want my fellow Utahns to know that I recognize and appreciate the contributions of our libraries.
I know that:
I know that:
- My community is a better place to live, is more fun and interesting, and is more successful because of our library.
- Libraries are free and open for all and provide a wide range of information, supporting a more educated and informed community. Libraries have books that reflect all perspectives; they transcend partisan political parties and politics.
- Libraries are centers of free expression, discovery, learning, self-direction, and artistic creation. Libraries support and nurture arts and culture in our communities, providing gallery space, performance space, and maker/creative spaces for all ages and interests.
- Libraries support business development and entrepreneurs, fostering prosperity, and strengthening our local and national economy.
- Libraries cultivate and preserve our local history and stories, helping us make connections between our past and present, and inspiring us to see the future we can create together.
- For these reasons I am proud to sign up and add my name to the list of Utahns who support strong, well-funded libraries across the state.
