From the bustling Meridian St, to a quiet corner in Orient Heights and finally a beacon at the end of the Greenway - our library has grown. I, too have grown with it. From a spindly girl seeking solace in an arm chair surrounded by books to a woman seeking comfort and community connections with children of my own... this library has held me tightly in a loving embrace. Every time I enter, I receive a warm smile, a friendly hello. I watch people from all walks of life benefit from the abundant resources. This library houses more than books. It is a place where learning and action intersect. It is my second home. It houses the people, the community I love.
