Here are a couple stories about libraries that were part of the Libraries Remember project, in which some libraries stayed open 24 hours to commemorate 9/11 and to discuss freedom and democracy.
This one is from the State Journal Register in Springfield (IL). This one is from the Daily Herald which covers programming at the Sugar Grove (IL) Public Library where a local pastor addressed those gathered:
“By coming here together today, we’re saying that we value peace, we value freedom,” said the Rev. Steve Good of the Sugar Grove United Methodist Church. “We value neighbor helping neighbor, we value helping each other, and we value life itself.”
