Call To Arms: Help Cuban Librarians

Nat Hentoff says jailed Cuban librarians need the help of American libraries. “How inspiring it would be if the world-renowned New York Public Library and its president, Paul Leclerc, would join the small Vermillion Public Library in South Dakota to further circulate stories and songs of freedom by sending books—and encouragement—to the Cuban independent libraries. Many of the multicultural users of New York’s library system would be proud of its flagship center and its lions guarding the freedom to read.”
