The Library Book by Rebecca Gray

4.0

The Library Book is a collection of essays from various authors, telling their stories of how library affected their lives. In libraries, they found solace, being a part of their childhood, helped their studies in college, changed their way of seeing the world etc etc. It's a book with library's love, stating their opinion against cutting funds/movement to close up some public libraries.

Reading the essays in this book, made me looked back in my own life. During my school years, the library has been a place where I can be alone in a crowd. It gave peace and calms me down. It's been almost 2 years since I rediscovered our local library (I had a bad experience with their collection years ago). My reading has improved and I read in a wide variety of genres too. Now, going to the library is something I look forward to every week. If you're someone who love library, I would recommend you to pick up this collection. And if you never use a library before, you definitely don't know what you're missing out on!
