The library still is a huge part of my life. As a child, teenager, and new adult, my book borrowing skills were notorious. I even worked at the local library for a stint. Then came my daughter and the storyteller at the local library was very well known. She adored him and has gone back to see him even as an adult. She became a notorious book borrower and my skills were renewed. Nowadays, I love the Libby and hoopla apps. What am awesome way to access the library!
I understand what it is like to feel like you can't keep up with the "Haves" when you are a single parent or you are in a lower income bracket. (I remember using the physical foodstamps.)
Oh wow, Elizabeth. This is such a raw and beautiful piece of writing. Thank you for sharing. I walked to my local library today after our One-Amotherness call and I am so grateful for it too. X
This was a beautiful piece. I am going to share it with our local librarian- who always strives to make our branch a place where everyone can belong. As a young mother, I felt the same way you did and the library was our sanctuary too. A level playing field.
