To the Editor:
In “Infrastructure Isn’t Really About Roads. It’s About the Society We Want” (Opinion guest essay, nytimes.com, April 26), Eric Klinenberg argues that strong public infrastructure places where communities can gather, learn from one another and grow after over a year of isolation is the key to our resurgence and renewal, just as it was during the New Deal.
We strongly agree, and cite public libraries as the ultimate example: trusted, welcoming community and civic spaces offering education and opportunity for all. These beloved neighborhood institutions and their free and irreplaceable services, classes and programs will be central to our recovery.
