All Paths Lead

A public library is a connection and a reminder of where our society has been and where it is now.  A combination of the tangible and intangible, even the most solitary of people becomes connected within its four walls. Every book on the shelves of the library serves as a connection between author and reader. Where books may not provide enough information, the library provides a free wireless internet connection, linking each user between the "here" and the "there".  The building itself has seen change and unrest but it remains, a link to the present, emblazoned with dates in history that will not be forgotten. As books travel from the public realm to the private realm, they spread the message of connection throughout the community, creating a footprint and a path for the discerning eye to see.
