"I always knew from that moment, from the time
I found myself at home in that little segregated
library in the South, all the way up until I walked
up the steps of the New York City library,
I always felt, in any town,
if I can get to a library,
I'll be OK.
It really helped me as a child,
and that never left me.
So I have a special place for every library,
in my heart of hearts." Maya Angelou
