What Does My Public Library Mean To Me?
by Kayla Webb
age 10, Milton

As soon as I walk in the library the workers say, “Hello my name is ___.  May I help you find a book” with a lot of expression in the words and in there smile.  The first time I went to the library I had my sister help me read in the kid secson.  I like the kid secson because I say it’s not parents allowed.  Kids can read kids books no stuipied adult books.  The kids can play some games in the kid secson.  One time I went to an animal show at the library.  I found out that turtles have shells for their home.  I was only six so I didn’t know that yet.  Once, I got to go to a storytelling and I still love that book Henry and the Purple Crayon.  The book looks like it will tak you a week but I takes you like thirty minutes.  The people who work there are always nice to me.  They help find the book you need for school or anything.  Whoever hasn’t go you should go today because it is realy great.  We haven’t gone in a while but I realy want to go right now.  The library is a great place to read in quiet.  I will always love to read at the library, but right now I’m in school.  Remember what I said, “The library is great!”  Allways go to the library.  We all will go one day.  I love the library and you should too.
