Ebook Libraries and democracy: The cornerstones of liberty

This book, Libraries and Democracy, focuses on the role libraries play in advancing deliberative democracy. Democracy is no simple construct. President Lyndon B. Johnson believed in voting as the crux of democracy. At the end of the century, President Bill Clinton held governance to be the dominant feature of democracy. Perhaps the most comprehensive view was held by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who considered democracy to be the opportunity for everyone to participate in all aspects of society.
