In this edition of Making Places--our first devoted to libraries, civic institutions, and the creation of vital civic centers--PPS welcomes the contributions of our partners at the Americans for Libraries Council. The ALC and their program arm, Libraries for the Future, are leaders in the movement to improve libraries as places that anchor communities. It gives me great pleasure to share this forum with our esteemed colleague, ALC President Diantha Schull.
I'm also excited about this opportunity to share PPS's approach to civic centers. Civic centers are the home of our institutions of democracy and culture--libraries as well as museums, performing arts centers, courthouses, city halls and other key public buildings. These are places with profound practical and symbolic significance. As head of PPS's Civic Centers Program, I'm proud of how we helped cities and towns expand the intrinsic value of these districts, revitalizing downtowns that used to be abandoned after 5pm by breathing new life into their public spaces. I hope this newsletter will jumpstart similar initiatives among our readers and bring wider attention to the immense untapped potential of Placemaking in transforming civic centers.
