Dear Librarian
Dear Librarian | Lydia M. Sigwarth
4 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
When Lydia was five years old, she and her family had to leave their home. They hopped from Grandma's house to Aunt Linda's house to Cousin Alice's house, but no place was permanent. Then one day, everything changed. Lydia's mom took her to a new place not a house, but a big building with stone columns, and tall, tall steps. The library. In the library, Lydia found her special spot across from the sunny window, at a round desk. For behind that desk was her new friend, the librarian. Together, Lydia and the librarian discovered a world beyond their walls, one that sparkled with spectacular joy. Paired with warm art by newcomer Romina Galotta and a foreword by Ira Glass, Dear Librarian is a "thank you" to anyone who has offered a child love and support during a difficult time.

Some thoughts:
Rent in the U.S. had increased 26% since 2020 (NPR).
Every library should have a window to look out at the world. My favorite is the children's floor of the Mandel public library of West Palm Beach.
Every library is a window looking out into the world past present and future.

3.5 ⭐ This is a true story of a little girl named Linda who found her home in the library, while here sleeping home was constantly changing. This story was lovely and simple. The illustrations match. It was a nice read but not one of my favorites personally.
