Libraries are INCREDIBLY important for child development. If i didnt have access to a library that challenged my mind as a kid i would have turned out for the worse.

I am a lifelong library lover and librarian. I also believe in free access to information.

These books represent a long history, culture, and beliefs that need to be preserved and acknowledged. It important part to reflect upon the past and keep alive what we still know about it and to introduce it to the future generations of students that may happen upon it.
Ess supported: Save the MSU Classics Library!
As a former Classical Studies student and current steward for material culture, I am appalled by Montclair’s actions to attempt to eliminate access to literature and material culture in the Classics Library. Spaces with theses humanities related resources are vital for giving students the opportunities to experiment with new thoughts and interact with different life paths from bygone ages. Asside from the physical materials, the library hold intrinsic value for its physical space for providing a platform for student and facility alike to meet to discuss humanities related issues. I beseech Montclair to reconsider its displacement of the Classics Library.
Megan supported: Save the MSU Classics Library!I'm a Classics and Archaeology student at MSU, with a focus on latin language. Plainly, our seminar room is a cornerstone of our college experience. Ranging from the basics of latin grammar, to reading advanced Latin prose like Vergil and Cicero, my progression as a student alone hardly encompasses the worth of this space. I have met Classics alumni who fondly remember our library, which has fostered learning, friendships, and passion for the Humanities long into the past. As a department we have already been overlooked in favor of larger majors. Taking away our only 'third space' would be a tremendous loss, and an insult to staff, alumni, and students like myself.
A supported: Save the MSU Classics Library!Limiting access to education in any form is detrimental to society and critical thinking. Humanities teach us so much about how to approach both past and present issues as all things stem from humanity or a lack of it. Trying to erase or suppress our access to history is not only shameful but dangerous and I shouldn’t have to explain why.
