Meet Me at the Library

A Place to Foster Social Connection and Promote Democracy

Island Press

America is facing an epidemic of loneliness and isolation, with troubling effects on our mental and physical health. How do we create spaces for people to come together—to open our minds, understand our differences, and exchange ideas?
 
Shamichael Hallman argues that the public library may be our best hope for bridging these divides and creating strong, inclusive communities. While public libraries have long been thought of as a place for a select few, increasingly they are playing an essential role in building social cohesion, promoting civic renewal, and advancing the ideals of a healthy democracy. Many are reimagining themselves in new and innovative ways, actively reaching out to the communities they serve.
 
Meet Me at the Library offers us a revealing look at one of our most important civic institutions and the social and civic impact they must play if we are to heal our divided nation.

Ultimately, these poems not only reconstruct an important historical event, but they also put pressure on the archive, asking us to question not only what is remembered, but how history is remembered—and who is forgotten from it.
