According to the Library Hotline, a weekly newsletter from Library Journal and School Library Journal, "It may be too soon to know how high libraries will fare on President-elect Barack Obama's agenda, but it's safe to say that the profession has a special place in the heart of the next President of the United States. Emily Sheketoff, executive director of the American Library Association's Washington Office, said she's confident that Obama will recognize the importance of what we do because he has a track record of supporting them in the past."
Take, for instance, his address at the American Libraries Association conference in June 2005 in which Obama said "The library has always been a window to a larger world---a place where we've always come to discover big ideas and profound concepts that help move the American story forward."
