CLN Libraries -- Public Good The inherent modern-day challenge for public libraries is providing open access to a collection of materials and the internet while protecting minors from harm. Promoting the welfare of children is everyone’s responsibility. Libraries are an essential public good and are fundamental institutions in democratic societies. Public libraries in the past 20 years have pivoted from being repositories of books and materials to havens of privacy and ensuring the community has free and open access to personal inquiry. The right to think is the beginning of freedom and speech is the beginning of thought. The ability to access information has a critical impact on a community’s educational success, economic development, provision for an informed electorate, and overall quality of life.
