Building public support for public libraries: Chicago – a case study
Abstract
Citizens can create a positive environment that will strengthen public libraries. In Chicago, one group developed projects such as rebuilding the book collection and tutoring students at a branch library. It became the lead organization to petition city government to restore budget cuts. Individuals can express their concerns with these groups. With strong public support, the Chicago Public Library has become a revitalized institution.
