Are Libraries built in disenfranchised communities different from libraries in wealthier and politically higher committees? Are the fundings different? Are the types of books different? Are the programs different. Is atmosphere different. Why are urban libraries centered on or ignored. I personally want to explore more the importance on libraries in urban and underfunded communities who thirst for knowledge not within the school system? When the NYC library was threatened to close are change people stood from multiple outlets to keep it open. Would these same people find it relevant to fight to keep a library in a poor part of the bronx? Are libraries really for education and knowledge for all?
