Library Media Project- "Libraries are the people's banks"

Thomas Jeffersons' observation that "Information is the currency of democracy", to which we add that: "Libraries are the people's banks". Since 1988, the Library Media Project has been fostering public discourse one library at a time by helping U.S. libraries build educational media collections. To date over 3,100 libraries have participated in our projects. These libraries serve over 209 million people. In 1988, we began life as the MacArthur Foundation Library Project. We created the pioneering public library “Video Classics” project which helped establish many of the first educational and independent video collections in libraries across America.
