The days of people coming to the American public library for answers, if they ever existed, are long gone. So are the naive days of the humble scholar who seeks the authority and expertise of his betters. People come to reference services to begin or continue on a story in their lives.

Or we could say that all libraries help make people better citizen-scholars.
