Today my granddaughter told me that she asked Mommy to go to the Library and she said "yes". The inflection in her voice was as excited as if she was on her way to meet Mickey Mouse. Of course, my daughters grew up surrounded by library talk. But trips to the library were routine visits to Mom's workplace. This little one finds her library a place of wonder and discovery. She couldn't wait to show me the details on the stair railing, the special seating in the Children's Area, and even the place to look up a book on the computer in her San Jose, CA branch library. Whenever we drive by she points out the building from her carseat perch.
It is that world of wonder that brings Monroe youngsters running into the Library everyday. The colors are bright, the furniture is welcoming, and the people they meet are so glad to see them. And this is before we add the layer of stimulating programs for all ages.
My granddaughter, Tillie, is only 3, but she's been given the gift of a lifetime of fulfillment by visits to her library.
