Local libraries have been a great blessing to me since early childhood. Being an avid reader and too poor to buy books that interested me, the library furnished my needs and pleasure. 

The local librarians in Rabun county would let me check out 20 or 30 books at once (we only went to town maybe once or twice a month - this was in the 1950's and 60's).

The Information and knowledge I have is primarily from books in the library.
