23. 2.1 Plowing the commons “ e commons of culture is a huge lake; young artists are sponges at its shores. Some become great rivers as well, and feed the lake.” (Hyde)
29. “Many libraries are becoming maker spaces, providing opportunities where people can gather and create.” (PPS)
33. “The longer I work at Kennedy Library, the more I realize that it’s not just a big cement box filled with books and computers and couches. The library is a project, a work-in-progress, constantly growing and expanding and changing as students’ needs change.”
