Library patron since I was four!

Libraries are places of acceptance and learning as well as exploration of previously unknown worlds! People who can't afford home technology can apply for jobs or help from agencies. I like to sit and read a newspaper now and then. I used to take my grandkids to story time and many other activities. We NEED libraries more than we know!

Unfortunately, librarians are one of the lowest paid professionals around. In my graduate Records Management program there were many librarians with masters degree who were trying to get into a similar career but with better pay.

Here on Lopez we have the only 5 star single library (for it's size - 9th year) in the state. It is mostly run by volunteers and has such programs as music instrument lending. It is the most popular place on the island. Tonight is Literary Salon where a bunch of us get together to discuss books we have read. Perhaps your local library can use some volunteer help.

Don't forget the Book Mobiles, too!

My grandmother was the town librarian when I was growing up. I loved being there.

I still love going to the library!
