Lets celebrate National Library Week by sharing stories of how libraries can change lives. When I was young—probably around 6—my mom would drop me off at the local library every Saturday morning and pick me up three hours later. I was expected to come out with a book to read that week. One morning, I wanted to check out Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, but the librarian said it would be too hard for me. When my mother learned this, she marched me back in to the library and demanded I be able to check it out. I learned that day how important reading was. My mother showed me—and the library enabled me—that learning was worth fighting for. Ive been an avid reader ever since. Whats your library story? #NLW14 #LivesChange
