Few places have been as nostalgized, or as maligned, as malls. Since their birth in the 1950s, they have loomed large as temples of commerce, the agora of the suburbs. In their prime, they proved a powerful draw for creative thinkers such as Joan Didion, Ray Bradbury, and George Romero, who understood the mall's appeal as both critics and consumers. Yet today, amid the aftershocks of financial crises and a global pandemic, as well as the rise of online retail, the dystopian husk of an abandoned shopping center has become one of our era's defining images. Conventional wisdom holds that the mall is dead. But what was the mall, really? And have rumors of its demise been greatly exaggerated?

Many of you have likely already seen our Fall Fundraising Appeal show up in your mailbox, and we just want to say thank you so much to everyone who has contributed or is thinking about contributing. You are very much the heroes of Skidompha and our community.

What does it mean to be a hero? Skidompha Public Library, your library, is a place where you can find out. The library is a place where you can experience stories about heroes. The library is a place where you can read about what it means to be a hero. The library is a place where you can define how to be the hero of your own story.

Your ongoing investment in Skidompha supports books and programs that engage and nurture our community’s heroic imagination. At Story Time, children learn that heroes can be courageous and kind. In the Teen Room, young people come to understand that empathy and curiosity can make them unstoppable. In the stacks, adults realize that the creativity and purpose they are surrounded by is already inside them.

Free access to books and information through our collections and programs strengthens the community we all share. Please continue to invest in our library operations by giving to our fall appeal. We cannot do it without you.

If you would like to donate, visit skidompha.org/donate

Thank you for helping us keep the heroic imagination of our community going strong.
