Libraries extend beyond four walls
It’s National Library week, and for someone who loves books and was the child of a librarian, this week is special to me. Aside from two years as a business teacher, my mom spent her entire career in public education as the librarian of Weaverville Primary School. When she retired, she went back and served part-time in the media center of Fairview Elementary.
As a child, my afternoons were spent in my mom’s library. We would play with her typewriter or the Xerox machine. Sometimes we would watch a movie in the AV room or paint on construction paper and laminate is on the massive 1980s laminating machine that filled up a quarter of the room. When my sister and I weren’t playing with all of the gadgets and machines that reside in a library, we were perusing the many books of shelves and reading.
