nearly as many as the rest of the U.S.” Nicolle Davies, assistant commissioner of the Colorado State Library and United for Libraries Board Member, is quoted in the piece: “The two things you really need in a democratic society are free press and public libraries.
People need to be able to formulate their own ideas and be able to get good quality information that's accurate, and that's what happens at a public library. When you start to play around with the profile of a collection, you risk not providing an accurate
and balanced perspective.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
