Breaking Ground in the Twenty-first Century: Connecting to Our Communities

Abstract

The headlines in our newspaper read "Library Breaks Ground for New Building." Our local library was beginning the construction of a new $5 million dollar library facility. As president of our board of trustees, I reflected on that headline and my first thoughts were of great satisfaction and accomplishment and connection. As I thought about this headline a little more, I realized that the headline was really old news that the newspaper was only now revealing in a different form.
