Libraries
There is love here in the libraries,
There is luck and there is laughter,
And there are worlds,
Whole glittering galaxies,
Locked in pages,
And librarians hold the keys.
Keys to kingdoms,
Keys to worlds and wars,
And tiny rusted keys,
To tiny wooden doors,
The ones you find in oak trees
In the corner of the wood,
That place you always go to,
Though mum said you never should.
There are wonders in these libraries,
There is ink and page and paper,
You can find the inspiration for a character,
And make her.
You can find a place of safety,
A home away from home.
You can find everything in libraries,
And we cannot let them go.
So love all these librarians,
Love these spaces and support them,
Love this magic made of paper,
Whispers of wanders to visit again and again,
Love it,
Use it,
Never lose it,
Because the library is your friend.
