Libraries and the Great Atlantic Divide
"I try always to praise the wonders the of the library, particularly in America where the libraries are open to everyone. In Europe, where I come from, the libraries are still very much under the 18th century mentality where they are for a very exclusive group of people. They don’t allow you to have direct access to the book. When I came here and saw that you could have access to any book you wanted, I saw that this was heaven." Prof. Candelas Gala, chair of the Romance Languages Department, Wake Forest University
