Yale University — Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library
Libraries have always given me a sense of peace when entering. They have been sanctuaries. Even when I had to pull all nighters in college doing research, I felt fortified by the peace and strength of my college library. I can remember a little one room library in elementary school and being so excited to just sit at the table and wait my turn to pick a book. I remember entering my local library as a young adult and thinking "I could live here". I remember being a volunteer at my neighborhood library and feeling "at home" when going to work. I'm fortunate I now get to be in a library nearly every day. I hope everyone will visit their local library. Happy National Library Week!
