so very sad
As I write, the local public library is burning to the ground. I was almost in tears as I watched the roof fall in amid a huge swath of brilliant orange flames. As far as I was able to tell from talking to the police on the scene, no one was injured, but I have come to feel like the place itself is part of our family. Baby visits up to three times a week for the excellent story-and-craft time, and the children's area is--was--big and well-designed, and a great place to run around. Plus the library housed irreplacable archives of local history that no doubt are lost.
It is a big blow to the neighborhood.
