The Washington Post Book Club newsletter describes Ukranian librarians at work. Quoted in the newsletter, Archibald MacLeish’s “Of the Librarian’s Profession” (1940):
When wars are made against the [human] spirit and its works, the keeping of these records is itself a kind of warfare. The keepers, whether they so wish or not, cannot be neutral.MacLeish was the ninth Librarian of Congress (1939–1944).
