An after school staple

I always went to the library as a kid sometimes for hours or just an afternoon pickup for something for March Break. But once I got to high school it felt like it fully cemented itself in my head as a true staple of any community. Me and my friends would always meet at the library to do projects throughout the year. Or when it was exam season we would rent a study room and study for law or history (I swear we were actually studying). Or when we finally learned to drive, and my friend would see me making that long trek from school to the library in winter and would give me a ride in her Dad's older-than-us sedan. Or in the summer when I was going to an unfamiliar school, and the library gave me a reprieve from the heat and awkward social circle that is summer school. Thank you to the library for being there as a kid, a student and still just as amazing of a resource as an adult.
