My first library visit was at the Park Slope library in Brooklyn. Sixth Avenue if I remember correctly when I went Holy Family grammar school.

Libraries are the hubs of communities- whenever I first moved into a neighborhood, my first stop was to visit my local library to see what it had to offer for myself and the members of my family- I was never disappointed!

The library has been a place for me where i am able to do to the past by reading books like Ancient history, art and other subject matter. The library hold help make learning fun. The library is one of the blessing of being a human being.

Libraries matter in our contemporary times because it reperesents a counter balance to the deluge of misinformation which prevents citizens in a democratic or any society from making progressive decisions.

Former beneficiary of the Brooklyn and New York city library system. Presently applying to become a librarian in your library system. Thanks for the opportunity to support libraries.
Libraries taught me that no matter what you're interested in - there is a book for you!
