Libraries are about freedom.
![](https://sonderbooks.com/sonderquotes/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Gaiman-1.jpg)
Freedom to read, freedom of ideas, freedom of communication.
They are about education, about entertainment, about making safe spaces and about access to information.
— Neil Gaiman, Art Matters, “Why Our Future Depends on Libraries, Reading and Daydreaming”
