Abstract Abstract “The Bible tells us that the truth shall make men free. “We Americans know that if freedom means anything, it means the right to think. And the right to think means the right to read—anything, written anywhere, by any man, at any time. “Print is our passport to truth. It opens the richest empire man knows—the empire of the human heart and mind. “Men die; devices fail; success and fame run their course. But within the walls of even the smallest library in our land lie the treasures, the wisdom and the wonder of man's greatest adventures on this earth.” UNESCO: Purpose, Progress, Prospects by Walter H.
