The Justice Library initially was started to try and meet a very specific need in a specific moment. When the doors opened, public libraries we closed and a gap existed in the access to information and learning that the Justice Library aimed to fill. Since that time, access to materials through the local library system and a wide array of other channels have returned, and the original need has diminished.
All this said, there has been a decision to remove the Justice Library. Perhaps, sometime in the future, there will be a need to reboot the concept, but this season, this chapter is closing.
Thank you to all who donated books, time, and energy to this concept and idea. Those efforts were not in vain. I am optimistic that the impact this project had no matter how seemingly small helped shift perspectives and create openness even if the full extent may not be fully known for some time.
