While in the Friends Store this past week, I found this powerful book, Reading Rooms - a collection of some of America's best writers commenting on public libraries with stories, memoirs, essays, and poems. Edited by Susan Allen Toth and John Coughlan, their selections are both a tribute to the public library's role in American history and literature and a reminder that they are under a serious threat today, ailing from budget cuts and censorship battles in cities and towns across the nation. Wherever it opens, I have a treasure to read.
