| Message | We have a national system of museums. Why not a national system of interconnected libraries as well. That way we can maximize library budgets. We don't need to buy multiple copies of lesser requested books. They can be had through inter-library loans. |

| Random quote: "John Burroughs has stated that experimental study of animals in captivity is absolutely useless. Their character, their habits, their appetites undergo a complete transformation when torn from their soil in field and forest. With human nature caged in a narrow space, whipped daily into submission, how can we speak of its potentialities?" - Emma Goldman |
