True Stories of the Magic of Reading

The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians

Emma Hak-Kovacs

[Community] libraries level the playing field. They're free and open to the public. All are welcome. Our doors are open. Come in and learn to become your best self. Follow your dreams and reach your true potential. Let your reach exceed your grasp. Whatever book you want to read, it's free on the honor system. It's hard to imagine anywhere else in our society so devoted to the concept of everyone being completely equal.

There are millions and millions of books out there, and people keep returning to the store because they trust our recommendations.

It smells like books, and it feels like home, and is full of ideas and possibilities.
