A “home” away from homeE

As a child I remember my parents taking my brother and I to the Lincoln Acres Library. My brother and I loved our little Lincoln Acres library that looked like a little house. The library was our second “home”. We were always greeted by our librarian Perla. As we got older we would meet our friends at the library to do homework, look at magazines, read/check out books and talk with Perla. When we both went off to college we didn’t frequent the library as much but always tried to stop by and say hi whenever we could. Once I became a mom we would visit my parents and they would babysit my children as toddlers. My parents introduced by kids to our library. This time my children would enjoy the books and the programs. After my parents passed, my children now school age, we moved to the neighborhood and we continue frequent our library. My kids always ask to go visit their grandfathers friend, Jose the librarian. The Lincoln Acres library has always and continues to be a “home” asay from home.
