What does the Library mean to You?
The library raised me. It’s my second home. I feel safe here.
Mr. S from the library teaches me to turn “No, I can’t” to “Yes, I can!”
He becomes a better learner and I become a better parent thanks to the library.
It feels so good to have a mentor who encourages you to be better.

The Library goes beyond the books. It is a safe space to explore and learn. It is a community anchor where people of all ages, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status learn together and from each other. The library is all these and more because of your support. You take our library from good, to great!
