THE PLEASURES OF THE MIND: NEH FUNDING FOR LIBRARIES
Abstract
Many libraries—public, academic, special—have taken the opportunity provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities to offer programming in the humanities to their communities. These libraries have realized the benefits of NEH funding to their institution, their constituency, and their image and role in the community. Other libraries, especially small and medium‐sized libraries, have not yet taken the plunge and applied for NEH funding. In a conversation with Tom Phelps of the office of Humanities Projects in Libraries and Archives at NEH, we discussed how and why libraries should develop humanities programs to bring to their users “the pleasures of the mind.”
