LIBRARY MOMENTS

What does your local library mean to you?

“Growing up in Bolivia, South America as the son of missionary parents, it was the lack of library facilities which first made its impression on me. An avid reader, it was almost impossible to get English books to read in Bolivia. They had to be shipped by parcel from overseas, taking many months and costing many dollars. When I returned to Canada and walked into my first Library I was overwhelmed.

Books have been my friends. They have comforted me, challenged me, educated me, made me laugh and made me cry. Access to books, good quality books, should not be dependent upon income levels. Any society which aspires to justice and to being progressive must support its public library system.”
