While growing up, I frequented the library. “Always has a
book in her hands,” Mother said. She worried I’d get too serious. In Chippewa
Falls, the library was an Andrew Carnegie Free Public Library. My local library
looks like it in that it has steps leading up to the bit double doors. It’s an
old library and I like its warm charm. The books are often well worn; the pages
soft and often smudged or dog eared. Others have read this book before me and
some have left their trails littered.

They are like cairns saying, “I’ve been here. It’s safe.”
