FOCUS: Libraries cement knowledge and community in one place

By Dick Goodman, Lilburn, Ga. | There is one thing the other speakers this afternoon didn’t mention: the important role of libraries in our community and in our definition of who we are as Americans.

Libraries were not always as convenient as they are today, but we all have memories as children of going to a library. But libraries weren’t always accessible. In some communities they just didn’t exist, or they weren’t open to ordinary people.

FOCUS: Chairman outlines improvements in Gwinnett Public Library

By Dick Goodman | On behalf of the entire board of the Gwinnett County public library board, (myself; Betty Atkinson, Lawrenceville; Babs Wagoner, Duluth; Suzanne Skeen, Duluth and Deborah Oscarson, Lawrenceville), I’d like to report on recent developments at the Gwinnett County libraries. Many of these may appear minor, but cumulatively they represent major improvements in the level and quality of service for our patrons. Significantly, they have come about as a result of the leadership and professionalism of our library director, Charles Pace.
