I can comfortably say that books quite literally saved my sanity growing up. And no matter where I’ve lived in my 35 years, the library has been a significant place in my life. Whether I am searching for the latest fiction or the classic I’ve always meant to read, whether I am looking for information to gain additional knowledge or to prove someone wrong, the library is where I go first. If I needed to escape the madness of my childhood home, I would head to the library and lose myself for hours. After all, no one would tell me I could not go to the library and study!
