Part of Our Lives: A People's History of the American Public Library
Part of Our Lives - A People's History of the American Public Library by Dr. Wayne A. Wiegand is a walk through US history from the mid-1850s to present day through the lens of a public library. The anecdotal approach makes the book easy to read; it will appeal to bibliophiles and history buffs. The major theme that emerges is the library as the heart of a community although the exact definition of that role evolves as our nation evolves.
