Stories that highlight the importance of your donation.

If you don’t have money, you can’t just go sit anywhere in this city. But at the library you can, and there’s no judgment passed on you."
Tami's story
"I come here every two or three days. I come to clear my head and make music. I write down lyrics that talk about my life and I put it down into a song."
Tommy's story
"Around eighth or ninth grade, I started volunteering here. By tenth grade, I decided I wanted to be a librarian."
