We are sad to share the news of the passing of Irving H. Zangwill. Irving was a lifelong resident of Fall River, a teacher in the Fall River Public Schools more than 30 years, a library trustee, and MBLC Commissioner from 2006-2010.  Irving is remembered fondly as a kind individual, great collaborator and passionate advocate for libraries and public education.  We are very lucky to have known and worked with Irving.

39th U.S. President Jimmy Carter dedicated his life to public service and championed #Libraries. "As a former #LibraryTrustee, I recognize that strong #PublicLibraries connect users with many worlds of knowledge and learning, yet they also have a special bond with their own communities and the people who live there. Every member of the community is welcome," wrote President Carter in 1999 in a letter to the Georgia Public Library Service state agency.

🖼️: A letter unearthed by the Georgia Public Library Service in tribute and remembrance of former President Carter that he wrote advocating for libraries in 1999.
