When I was young, I'd walk to the library and take out a few books. The librarian would save grocery bags for readers like me. I'd take them to my mom's office and sit in the back room after school, eat saltine cracker packets, and read these colorful pages with a huge grin on my face.
The librarian showed me these books (Stephen Cosgrove). She is one of many librarians who built in me a strong and diverse love of reading. This was the first librarian who made a difference in my life. She helped build the whimsy, the sleuth, and the horse-love into me. The year was 1998.
Thanks to librarians every day. A true cornerstone of society. Literature is life.
