And here’s the Library Journal’s write up about how FMPL earned the award: “Courage in Crisis”
"Libraries have always been community centers. Libraries have always cared about being at the heart of what the community does.” -Scott Bonner
Scott Bonner awarded the Lemony Snicket Prize for Noble Librarians Faced with Adversity
On August 9, 2014, the shooting of unarmed teenager Mike Brown by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri set off a string of protests, demonstrations, riots, civil unrest, arson and violence. But in the middle of this climate of fear—where local disruptions caused businesses to board up their windows and delayed the start of the school year for the 12,000 youth in the Ferguson-Florissant School District— the Ferguson Public Library remained open and engaged, thanks to Bonner and the absolutely vital and tireless work of every member of his staff .
This is why Libraries and Librarians matter. A library is so much more than a place to check out books or movies. At its heart, a library is the archiver, protector and transmitter of culture and learning, and the actions of Bonner and his staff show that in the very best way.
'PW' catches up with director Scott Bonner for a wide-ranging talk about life in Ferguson, MO, and the library’s much lauded efforts following the shooting of Michael Brown.
