| Abstract | The value of the humanities is obvious to anyone who has looked to literature for insight, to philosophy for wisdom, to the arts for pleasure. In an effort to demonstrate how the humanities can help modern society deal with some of its most pressing and complex problems, the National Endowment for the Humanities gives grants for scholarly research and public projects that aim to disseminate humanistic knowledge. Realizing the public library's unique potential as an open forum and catalyst in the discussion of community issues and its advantages as a multi-media resource center, in the fall of 1968 the Tulsa City-County Library (TCCL) System applied for a grant from the National Endowment. TCCL used government funds for a close examination of modern urban problems. The broad goals of TCCL throughout all three projects were; to deal with the important issues of modern urban life, to provide multi-media information on these topics, and to provide a public forum on the problems encountered. TCCL's administration urged not only library staff members to participate in all phases of the three projects, but also asked the community at large to help develop and implement programs. This document is a narrative and pictorial report of the projects. (Author/SJ) |
