Our public libraries stand as a cornerstone of American society. Fueled by the belief in a shared good, they enrich not just our communities, but also individual lives. RUN IT LIKE A LIBRARY delves into the power of libraries as a collective investment, funded through taxes, that unlocks personal transformation and cultural enrichment. LaRue, longtime librarian and library administrator explores how these institutions were built on the vision of "making Americans" in the 21st century through access to knowledge, and how their enduring trustworthiness reflects the pioneering women who championed their creation.
