Again this year, the Bensenville Community Public Library, Bensenville, IL, will remain open for the entire 24-hours of September 11. From the library’s website: “This is done with the belief that libraries represent the sum of all human knowledge. They represent freedom of expression, celebration of diversity, a playing field that is level, preservation of heritage, and commitment to the future. There may be nothing more antithetical to terrorism, hatred, bigotry, and fanaticism that the American Public Library. We believe that there can be no more fitting tribute, no more appropriate commemoration of September 11, 2001, than for libraries to simply be there. Therefore, the Bensenville Public Library will remain open for the entire twenty-four hours of September 11. Throughout those hours, the library will conduct business as usual: facilitate communication, foster citizenship, promote understanding, and guarantee freedom of access to information.” Get more information at www.librariesremember.net
