What a wonderful read, Seajay, thank you very much.
I love this poem because it explains truth of the library well.
The setting in the poem helps us to see a perfect picture of it
I think this poem is very well written
And I also love libraries very much, always have...

Ohh I love this line so much, it is just so true!
The ending of your poem is lovely, not just because the library is a good
place to escape too to read and work on things. But the ending touches me
on a very personal level...

In high school I had no friends, every couple of years I might of had 1 true friend, but mostly long distance friends in entirely different schools... I was a depressed teenager, very depressed, I escaped to our school library for no one had to look at me. I could be alone there and not worry what people were saying or thinking about me. Of course not everyone was mean to me, I was invisible to most of the world. A group of a selected few liked to make fun of me, funny thing, they never though of checking the library to look for me. I felt safe there, I read and read some more and fell in love with many different authors, I smiled and cried to different stories.
If my school had of not had library who knows what I would of done, back then I will admit I was suicidal and a cutter sometimes, for a good part of those years, so anything could of happened... But I had to graduate because I promised my mother I would.
Anyhow sorry for rambling on there lol, I just wanted you to know this poem is beautiful and touched me on a personal level.
Thank you fo sharing
