The Explorer

Tommy found a hidden path
Behind his backyard tree,
Where squirrels dashed and birds
took baths
In spots he couldn't see.

He followed tracks of tiny feet
Through grass and morning dew,
And discovered treasures, strange
and sweet—
A world completely new.

Look Up

When you gaze at clouds today,
What shapes do you see?
A dragon soaring far away?
A castle by the sea?

You point your finger to the sky,
Your mind begins to dream,
As puffy shapes go drifting by—
Not all is what they seem.

My First
Memory

(Of Librarians)

43

What are your memories of a
librarian? School or public library.

44

My First Memory (of librarians)

This is my first memory:
A big room with heavy wooden tables that sat on a creaky

wood floor

A line of green shades—bankers’ lights—down the center
Heavy oak chairs that were too low or maybe I was simply

too short

For me to sit in and read

So my first book was always big

In the foyer up four steps a semi-circle desk presided
To the left side the card catalogue
On the right newspapers draped over what looked like

a quilt rack

Magazines face out from the wall

The welcoming smile of my librarian
The anticipation in my heart
All those books—another world—just waiting
At my fingertips.

libraries were so important to her as a young person.
