I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for
as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading
up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other
kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I
checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16
years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading
to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a
new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books
were our main source(来源) of
entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library,
where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting
out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with
my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library
and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation
to generation.
As
a novelist, I've found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to
go to their local library when they can't afford to purchase a book. I see libraries
as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a
bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way,
help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should
support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the
library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk
about them when you can.
