 The building was small and the children's books were right across from the circulation desk where the librarians, Miss Lolly or Wanda, were right there if I needed them or wanted to ask a question. I loved how they talked to me and they asked about what I like to read and remembered those things and it always felt so good. As I got older, books became a way for me to remain connected with my mom. I think maybe we all go through times when we have difficulty relating to or talking to our parents.
