Congressman Dan Maffei says the libraries in Syracuse are increasing their outreach to the community at a rapid pace. He spoke at the Galleries of Syracuse Central Library today before a poetry reading as a part of National Library Week.
"This is a very good example of city council cooperation and I'm a big fan of these libraries," said Maffei, speaking before the poetry readings began.
Maffei says that libraries have always been a part of civilization and cultural expansion and learning, and believes Onondaga County is doing a good job of reaching out to the city's youth. He was also impressed with the library's implementation of new resources available on the internet.
"The internet is obviously a great tool where information is readily available," said Maffei, "but we're here to remind people that the library is always available and the internet is not a substitute for the library. We have a great resource right in our own backyard."
