"A library is not just a warehouse for books; it is a physical representation of a set of cultural values that have accumulated over thousands of years. Libraries salvaged and preserved Western civilization; they have been a hub for intellectual exchange, a ladder of social mobility, and a promise of continuity from one generation to the next. It is not mere courtesy that causes people to become silent in the library, as they do in a church: Libraries are sacred places." -from "A Laboratory of Collaborative Learning," by Thomas H. Benton, The Chronicle of Higher Education, August 7, 2009.<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chronicle.com%2Farticle%2Fa-laboratory-of-collaborative-learning%2F&data=05%7C02%7Cfla-facrl%40lists.fsu.edu%7C4ad4c996cee84285ce7208dea1f811b1%7Ca36450ebdb0642a78d1b026719f701e3%7C0%7C0%7C639126283993461979%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=koXdkGlLzfF0rZow%2BbWnlyJZDuQiP0%2FzJRp87855ACc%3D&reserved=0>
