The following is her poem written years ago to honor the legacy of libraries within our communities…

I can meet a perfect stranger, fall in and out of love in one day. I can see places I've never been before, whether near or far away.

Whether I join with other readers or choose to be by myself, My chance to enter another world is there sitting on a shelf. I can look for well-known classics or books not recognized by all. And if I want to know my heritage, history books heed my call. I can learn a new language; find out how to get a degree. And I can even keep up with the latest news at my local library! I can surf the internet; research until my heart is content. I can make each visit special, more like a spectacular event! I can check out a video if it's something that I really want to see. And if I'd rather hear a song, I can go to the section to look for a cd. I can photocopy or laminate items; there's so much one can do And fun, inspirational, and educational events are often offered too.

If someone questions the importance of the library, I’m sure you will agree How much of an impact this institution makes within our community!
