My experience with libraries started at the age of 5 when we moved to New Rochelle, N.Y. A branch library of the New Rochelle library system was within walking distance so my mother took me every week. When I started first grade, I was allowed to walk by myself (times were different). The building was like a gothic doll-house -- so very welcoming and charming with a marvelous children's section located upstairs. When I go back to visit now, I see that the building is now an exclusive chidren-only facility. My parents were big readers and supporters of libraries, and I have passed that on to the children I have taught over the years. Two of my brothers are published authors!
