I took my daughter to a public library in a town a half mile from ours: beautiful interaction between library staff and kids! Story time, 1,000 book club, etc. Our town: Sad affair where we asked the head librarian if they had a children’s section: “Indeed,” he said without looking up. We found it ourselves. The children’s librarian RAN OUT THE EMERGENCY EXIT when we came in. My daughter is not scary and while I’m nerdy, I am not scary looking.

Lesson: The GOOD library stocked a healthy number of your books. This is always the case.

There are more good libraries than bad ones, I am sure.
