ow I just have to say come on let's go
to the library and he I thought that bad

we are here probably six of the seven

6
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:40.800
days of the week my husband at first the
first time he came in library with me he

7
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:48.960
said this is not a library I play by and
he said a coffee shop I said yep they

services I could come here and spend

12
00:01:09.150 --> 00:01:16.759
eight hours a day almost and Jim never
complained

13
00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:25.640
I'll now forget
he passed away on the 13th of May and I

14
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:37.850
came back to the library the first time
and I walked through that door and they

15
00:01:37.850 --> 00:01:47.420
hugged me the library became my grief
counselor they helped me through a lot

16
00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:54.080
of hard day's hard weeks this is pretty
special to me

17
00:01:54.080 --> 00:02:00.530

and Regina Rock every time our daughter

18
00:02:00.530 --> 00:02:05.290
comes home from Brooklyn you know we
have to come and sit on Daddy's bench I

19
00:02:05.290 --> 00:02:10.399
donated some money to the library and I
thought they were just gonna put the

20
00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:18.290
bench on it I never realized that they
were gonna put the plaque it's not the

21
00:02:18.290 --> 00:02:27.530
building that makes it but it is it's
the people the director the staff the

22
00:02:27.530 --> 00:02:34.790
volunteers the patrons that come here
it's those people that makes this so

23
00:02:34.790 --> 00:02:41.510
vibrant my daughter keeps talking about
she lives in Brooklyn she said I want

24
00:02:41.510 --> 00:02:46.940
someplace with good transportation and
it's warm and she starts rattling off

25
00:02:46.940 --> 00:02:54.820
