A Statement from Two Presidents on the occasion of the first observance of NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK March 16-2- 1958 The Bible tells us that the truth thall make men free. We Americans know that if freedom means anything, it means the right to think. And the right to think means the right to read cn-- thing, written any-where, by any man, at any time. Print is ov r rassport to truth. It opens the i idlest empire n.an knows the empire cf the human heart and mind. Men die; devices change; suc-cess and fame run their course. But within the .walls of even the smallest libra) y in our land lie the treasures, the wisdom aid the wonder of man's greatest adventures on this earth. National Library Week will greatly serve if it makes us pause and remember these things.
