Can the First Amendment Coexist with Civility? Response to ‘What Is the Role of Law in Promoting Civility? What Are Its Limits?'
No full textRancorous rhetoric has taken over the public square, causing many citizens to retreat from democratic work. Although self-governance and human dignity benefit when citizens express their views, it takes more than diverse voices to make democracy strong. It takes civility--reasoned public discourse where respect, restraint, responsibility, and empathy coexist with free expression so that fellow citizens can hear each other. And it also takes safe spaces—public forums like those in libraries, where communities come together at the intersection of law and civility and strike their own balance between the boundaries and norms of civil discourse.Originally published in Insights on Law & Society

Libraries and Strong Democracy: Moving from an Informed to a Participatory 21st Century Citizenry
No full textDespite almost universal access to schools, libraries, and information, Americans appear no better informed about the issues and choices before them than in earlier days. Citizens are disconnected from one another and new technologies leave many behind in the digital age--some unable to participate fully in community life. If libraries are to continue to meet the personal and civic information needs of their communities, they need to reexamine their core beliefs and strengthen their capacity to move beyond the bounds of informing citizens to engaging them more actively in public life. Today’s libraries are well equipped to serve as active agents of democracy if they take intentional, strategic action to ensure the civic health and information vitality of their communities and their democracy. They have the potential to become the cornerstones of a strong democracy where citizens can come together to make tough choices about issues of common concern.The published version of this article appears in Indiana Libraries, and is available at this location: http://journals.iupui.edu/index.php/IndianaLibraries/article/view/422
