I Came for the Quilts
I heard about the quilt exhibit online and thought going to the library might be a good outing. Dale has been to this branch before, and thought I'd like it. He was right!
I stayed for the atmosphere
What a gorgeous library! Three stories. Tall windows, some with stained glass. The quilt display was in the reference / periodical room. One entire floor is for fiction. One floor for non-fiction. And the first floor for the youth. Young Adults have their very own closed off area - where there are even board games to play and soundproofing so the teens can make noise without getting shushed.
But when I walked into Children's Services ... I literally cried. It reminded me so much of the library I worked in as a young woman - only more grand - but still cozy and welcoming. A library like this is the reason I wanted to become a children's librarian.

What an exquisite place for young minds to come and dream.
Or maybe even ... me.
