THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
National Library Week, 1976
Our strength as a nation depends in large measure on
the willingness of every citizen to grow in knowledge
and wisdom and to discover and use given talents in a
constructive and meaningful manner. And America's
public libraries are the repositories of a wealth of
reading materials to satisfy every interest and stimu-
late the minds of all who use them. They provide
unlimited opportunities for growth and fulfillment for
citizens of all ages. There is no better time than this
Bicentennial year to reflect with pride on their tremen-
dous contributions to our national progress and way of
life.
By its very definition, democracy derives its vitality
from the people. A well-informed citizenry is basic
to its success. As we celebrate two hundred years of
democratic government, it is highly appropriate that
we give credit to those institutions that have provided
the most dynamic leadership to the effort to keep our
people informed and equipped to participate fully and
wisely in the community and national affairs that affect
their daily lives.
In the finest American tradition, our public libraries
offer all our citizens a chance to improve themselves
and to broaden their horizons. During this special
week, I urge men, women and children across the na-
tion to join in honoring the venerable role of libraries
in our nation's past and in rejoicing in their promise
for the future of our society.
