Call it a refuge. Call it cozy. Call it anything that suggests comfort and joy and I support you. Many cold winter days or steaming summer days I come here to sit on the soft sofas on colorful carpeting next to a huge vase of tastefully arranged silk flowers. I grab a book from the new selections and lose myself for as long as my weary bones require. I have a doctorate but the only thing I ever learned that has been worth the time and cost was reading from Miss Weybrandt at Woodland Elementary.
Here are librarians who smile and even laugh out loud. Here are books for every taste with the children's books far off from where adults read or sit or work at tables. The many small rooms are jammed with books, periodicals, CDs, DVDs, talking books, work spaces, arm chairs and references.
There are always places to sit, always new selections, always everything a library should tender. Even tho I have to spend a lot of time on the floor to find books on the too low shelves in the popular fiction room I shan't complain. I would never say a negative thing about the Rocky River Public Library.
