My Life, My Library - Barbara

Barbara lives in a Northeast Portland retirement community. She remembers Miss Lamberson, the children's librarian in the the original Central Library building that she visited with her parents as a child — and later with her own children. "For people like me now, with limited access to getting downtown and into this wonderful building that I treasure, the mobile library system that comes here with Jere is a gift which we are grateful for every month of the year," she says. "The food for the mind and the soul is quite as important I think as food for the body. We have this access that is a treasure. And for any community to maintain health, it is essential. We cannot really survive as a society without these libraries." What's your library story? http://www.multcolib.org/feature/yourlibrary.html
