OK, hows about we add the other half of the equation....
literacy + read + free information + discover + enjoy + entertainment + inspiration + assistance + learn + education = can anyone think of anything better to life's menu? :)
How about listing things that people have achieved with the help of their library... on the topic of music in the library, and from a Music of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards winner:
"I'm really excited about this library tour and hope that it will open young people's eyes and help them to see libraries as thriving hubs of creativity, rather than stuffy, solitary places. My passion for reading pervades my own creative work and new album, so I also hope that these performances will challenge preconceptions and encourage young people to develop a passion for reading and words."

If a few young (and not so young) people start to see the library as maybe being quite a cool place then everyone's onto I winner I think.
A library's values do though note I think as well include peace and quiet:
"In order to be open to creativity, one must have the capacity for constructive use of solitude. One must overcome the fear of being alone." Rollo May
