So I will help you out a little on this one. When I was about 6 a librarian told me about this other world that you can go to or visit anytime. She said even if you can't get to a library, a book will let you have "refuge" for a while.<br /><br />As you said many people have their own "story." However, many people go to the library just to get away for a little while. The library is a place you can go and escape the pressures or problems of daily life. You can go in and step into another world and it's your choice whether what kind of place it is. Even the poeple who go and just sit, without reading or talking to others or even talking to themselves they are not "in" the libary they are in a world they found or created at the library that makes their day better for them. The way things are in the "real" world today, I'm surprised there are not lines of people waiting to get in. <br />CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431308111851572672.post-35375764348115809432008-09-08T20:12:00.000-04:002008-09-08T20:12:00.000-04:00Wow...you blew me away. I have known some stories ...Wow...you blew me away. I have known some stories at my branch. Some pretty heart wrenching, too. Others very joyous. I am so glad you put your thought here because I have thought many of these things myself. It's also really great to know you have such a heart.Thanks.Pixelwikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834900556487993108noreply@blogger.com
