How exciting! I used to love going to the library as a kid. All those riches free to lend!

And this is how we go forward…
When I got my first library card, I felt like I had been given a key to the whole wide world. When I came to New Mexico, I learned that my dearly loved author, Rudolfo Anaya, lived in Albuquerque. I wrote him a fan letter and to my everlasting joy, he wrote back. His letter is one of my treasures. In my letter I told him of my heritage and of how walking through the doors of our local library at the age of 7, getting my first library card, was, as I said, walking into the world. It brought tears to my eyes when in his reply to me, he said the same thing about his childhood.

When I worked at the public library I sometimes worked in the children’s department. Kids like Emrie who saw this as a whole world opening up to them made my day. Thanks. I think this is what HOPE looks like.
