L Is for Librarians

September is Library Card Month. Do you have a library card? I do. I remember my first library, too. It took a street car to reach (back before buses there were these things called street cars), but it was so worth it. My public library was a Carnegie Library near downtown Pittsburgh. It had wood paneling, dinosaur skeletons, and shelf after

I love librarians

[ext_1023027]

I grew up in a home filled with abuse and books were one means of escape. Librarians provided me with wonderful books. In our neighborhood we had a bookmobile that came every other week during the summer. I lived for those days to check out new books. Without books I would have had no way to escape the horrors of my house.

My kids had the most fantastic librarian when we lived in Cutchogue. She had summer reading programs that other libraries copied years later. We couldn't wait to see how she decorated the children's library - an igloo, canvas draped over the shelves to represent covered wagons. My kids grew up in story hour and still have a love for books fostered from their library days.

Great post.
