So, it is National Library Week. In your opinion, how do libraries best help the poor, the underserved, and struggling persons? Are libraries important to you? Why?

I (the person who asked the question) am a librarian. I'd like for you to know, most college and university libraries do offer public access to their materials, with a few reservations/ restrictions. University and academic libraries usually offer material more geared toward research in the fields of study that their students are specializing in, so may not be applicable to all public patrons. I'd advise you to call or email whatever library you'd like to visit, and ask what their policies on public visitors are, then visit!

Hi, thank you for being a Student Loan Hero! I am a public librarian in NC. How can I help my library patrons to find you and apply for assistance?

Scott, I am so very sorry that happened to you. I hope you are healing as well as possible, and feeling better each day.
