As a community entity, Tulsa City-County Library serves as a great equalizer. A place where all people are welcomed and have equal access to information and technology. A place where collaboration is key and knowledge is power. We believe that informed, engaged individuals are the backbone of our democracy and stand for a society built on mutual respect and understanding.
In light of the national events in Charlottesville, VA, our library team has compiled a list of resources to aid in civil discourse:
