2. “Since the Great Depression, our nation’s libraries have never played such an important role in the communities that they serve,” said PLA President Sari Feldman. “From job-seekers to families that are trying to make ends meet, libraries are on the front lines of helping Americans get back on their feet. Yet as library visits and circulation increase, library budgets across the country are in shambles. This year’s conference provided a national platform to share ideas on how to prepare to weather the perfect storm that is brewing in many of our communities.”
美国公共图书馆协会会长Sari Feldman说，“在经济大萧条以来，我们国家的图书馆从未像现在这样在社会上担任过如此重要的角色，在那些生活陷入困境的求职者和家庭艰难度日时，图书馆总是在最前方，帮助美国人重新站立起来。然而随着图书馆到馆读者及流量的增加，全国各地图书馆的预算都似乎只是杯水车薪。今年的会议提供一个全国性的平台，让大家能够交流思想，探讨如何为我们社区服务接下来的众多工作作好准备。”
