The Library: Great History

Published by MerryG , 1 year ago
Great Historical information and the important roles a Library can have in one’s life.

It was a love-hate read!

Published by Ms. Dizzy , 1 year ago
I enjoyed the author's recollection of her memories of going to the library as a child. It did invoke memories of my childhood, too, and the weekly visits I made to the library. I loved the first 25% about the fire and the all the facts regarding the collections and the attempts to preserve what could be saved. I liked the last 25% about the suspected arsonist. However, the middle was a long read that i struggled to get through. When I put the book down, I did not rush to pick it up again. It was tremendously well researched but it was more than I cared to read.
