Libraries remember 9/11

Bensenville Community Public Library in Illinois have found a unique way to commemorate the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. They have been open since midnight last night and will remain so until midnight tonight. Several other libraries have chosen to participate.

“Libraries represent the sum of all human knowledge, and they represent equal access to that knowledge. Libraries represent freedom of expression, celebration of diversity, a playing field that is level, preservation of heritage, and commitment to the future. The Bensenville Community Public Library believes, therefore, that there could be no more fitting tribute, no more appropriate commemoration of September 11, than for libraries all across the United States to simply be there.”
