Children's only library

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!
