Yesterday, my colleague Thabiti Brown called me in California from the
beautiful courtyard inside the Boston Public Library (View image). Like
me, Thabiti is happy to spend a precious summer vacation day at the
library. The only public library to house also a presidential library
(John Adam's library is on the top floor) under head librarian Amy Ryan,
the BPL has undertaken a comprehensive community process to solicit input
on which principles should guide the library's future. As a Compass
Committee member, I am biased about the value of these guiding principles;
but I think they would be useful guide posts for any library.
.
When I travel, I always try to visit the local library. Libraries are a
reflection of a community's aspiration and commitment to universal
education. Is this a community that values learning? Is this a good place
to read? In an increasingly isolated human world, libraries are gathering
places which confirm the shared social endeavor of learning together.
Inter-generational and non-sectarian, public libraries are safe places to
question and to think, and, as noted in the Compass Principles, also have
fun!
.
This afternoon, I went to meet a friend in San Juan Capistrano so, of
course, stopped by the main library . I learned it had been designed in
1983 by Michael Graves (of Target fame) who won the contest to design the
library early in his career. I was delighted to see a gas fireplace in the
library, and since I am excited our new wing for our school will include a
gas fireplace, I asked the librarian about its origin. Terri Garza
explained, "Libraries should be welcoming and cozy. Several of our
branches have hearths, too."
.
On this California visit, I met with the board of the new charter school
slated to open inside the new San Diego Public Library in the summer of
2013. This visionary group is embedding a high school, grades 9-12 for 500
students, inside their magnificent new library. As an advocate of locating
and partnering high schools inside other community institutions, I am
eager to watch this new school/main library develop symbiotically.
