OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES OF PCU LIBRARY
When there are almost no stops for spreading the words.
When there are also almost no limits in craving for the words,
then a new home is in great needs for housing the words,
while it is also accommodating more access to the words.
When there is no such word as enough.
When there are also unbearable feelings to stand on its own,
then a partnership is a promise of not being alone,
while it is also sharing more supports to the world.
When there seems to have little humanity in high technology.
when luxury and sophistication seem unreachable,
then a high-touch is still lingering around,
while it is also reaching out to every corner of the world.
New homes, new roles, new media,
yet the same spirit of an old home of printing is still there,
cares and humanity.
sharing and serving.
