O. contribute to the cultural, economic, educational and social well-being of our communities:
Part of contributing to the well-being of various communities within the United Cities and various cities is being aware of the history that is specific to a particular community. Making people aware of that history assists in understanding the culture of a specific community. Remembering that history also assists in ensuring negative treatment due to prejudice to a particular group does not happen again. Part of a librarian's job is to ensure that the history of a particular group does not get censored and that the information remains readily available even when it reflects badly on the majority who may want that information censored or forgotten or remembered in a different light.
In my collaboration with Scotland, I showcased information and the documentary photographs of Dorothy Lange on the WWII Japanese American internment as well as featured artwork by several artists who had been imprisoned.
