 I remember my father taking me to a little library set up above the town offices in Churchville, NY, when I was just a tiny girl. I remember the excitement of taking out my first book, and rushing home to read it. This was just the beginning of my "library career." I continued to use the library throughout my childhood. I loved to read of other places and other times far beyond the boundries of Churchville.
As an adult I continue to read avidly, and frequently use my local library in Fairport. What does this have to do with the Lansing Community Library? Two things. First, Lansing is a small town in the country just as Churchville still is. Having a library "close to home" may make the difference between a person actually going to the library and reading books, or choosing to do other possibly unhealthy activities, wasting both minds & lives. Second, There may be another tiny girl or boy in Lansing just waiting to have the world's horizons opened to their eager inquisitive minds. They can find that world at the Lansing Community Library. I congratulate those who have launched the library in Lansing,and do hope it has a future in your community.
