Letter to the Editor: Public libraries are a bastion of the common good
Rev. Nicole Smith of Three Rivers writes, "Sadly, with the fracturing we are experiencing in American society the 'common good' has suffered terribly. Now we are wired and trained to think only of things that benefit us as individuals, with no consideration of the ripple effect such behavior has on our communities and society at large. In secular language we call this selfishness, in the Church, we call it Sin. Thankfully there is a place where community and individualism come together in a healthy way that promotes the 'common good.' That place is the local library, if you are lucky enough to have one in your town."
