Abstract
Libraries need peace. They originated in
settled, peaceful societies; when peace is broken,
libraries are threatened. In recent years we have
unfortunately seen this demonstrated all too often.
Librarians have long been associated with peace
movements and organisations devoted to making
peace. The question arises: can librarians contribute
to preserving and making peace?
