Our Honorary Co-Chairs

I’m a “fan” of the new North Shore Library!

Like a good baseball game, nothing brings people closer together than an outstanding library. That’s why I’m humbled, honored, and excited to be a part of the capital campaign effort for a new North Shore Library.

The new North Shore Library will offer so much more to our community than simply a place to store books. It will be a place to gather and meaningfully connect with one another. A place that inspires imagination and ignites passion for learning in old and young alike. A place where we can share new ideas and work together to bring them to life. And a place that bridges divides by giving free access to information and knowledge to anyone who walks through its doors.

Baseball and libraries – it doesn’t get more American than that!

– Allan H. “Bud” Selig Capital Campaign Co-Chair

Former Commissioner of Major League Baseball

Libraries have been part of my life forever.

One of my first memories as a child is having a librarian hand me a book and tell me she thought I was ready to read it. As I look back on this, I see that she actually saw me as a person and empowered me to stretch my skills. I still remember that moment.

Libraries are the most democratic institutions in the world. Everyone is welcome, help is available in almost any area of life, and the rules are the same for everyone. I have never stopped using the library and I am proud and excited to be part of this new beginning for the North Shore Library.

Join us in building a new North Shore Library together – for everyone!
