Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the transcript of a multi-faith dedication ceremony for the establishment of a public library in Malden, Massachusetts. Attendees' speeches survey the mid-19th-century American benefactors' intent to uplift their communities and the ideals of education, literature, and the… arts that inspired public libraries as cornerstones of American community life. The author sets this event within the context of New England's Puritan heritage, which citizens of the day saw as inextricably intertwined with public education and intellectual freedom. A reading from the book of Isaiah leads to a sermon on the importance of wisdom and knowledge as laid out in the Bible. Attendees share their hopes that the library will be a sanctuary of learning and an engine for broad intellectual, social, and civic improvement. In addition to speeches and prayers, the excerpt includes poetry readings and a performance of a musical anthem. This book will appeal to readers curious about the history of American education, philanthropy, and the concept of the public library as a civic institution.
