Patrons, Patron Saints, And Pew, Mark Y. Herring

Winthrop Faculty and Staff Publications

Those of us who work these intellectual mines fill our buildings with the good, the bad, and the ugly of human endeavor, preserving all that chronicles everything that is right about us, and all that may well be wrong with us. If ever libraries were more torn between two lovers, as it were, it is now, when we are pressed on every side to be all things to all kinds of people. The question is, will it ever be enough? Will we be found wanting by the very patrons we seek to serve?
