| Summary | "Why do we need a public library? Material for a library campaign" by Chalmers Hadley is a compilation of persuasive materials aimed at advocating for the establishment of public libraries, produced in the early 20th century. Released by the American Library Association Publishing Board in 1910, this book emphasizes the critical role that public libraries play in the education and enrichment of communities. The text serves as a resource for library advocates, providing evidence and arguments that illustrate the necessity of public libraries for both individual growth and societal progress. The book outlines numerous benefits that public libraries offer to communities, emphasizing their role in enhancing education, fostering civic engagement, and providing access to a wide array of literature. A range of contributors, including educators and public figures, articulates how libraries help develop informed citizens by providing resources that support school education and encourage lifelong learning. The text discusses the library's capacity to uplift communities through knowledge sharing, offering social and cultural activities, and serving as an inclusive space for all residents. Overall, Hadley’s compilation argues convincingly that public libraries are essential institutions for the intellectual and moral welfare of society, acting as vital centers of knowledge and community engagement.
