On November 9th, I got to attend a library opening in San Diego. My oldest brother is a librarian and he was chosen to run it. It’s a beautiful building. It’s one story and they made good use of the space. You walk in and you’re immediately amongst the bookshelves and you can browse to your heart’s content. Off to the left of the main area is a conference room for meetings. To the right is a couple of private study rooms and a computer room, which has both a 3D printer and a sewing machine. Outside is a play area for kids, with lots of grassy mounds for them to climb on. When I saw it, there were at least half a dozen easels set up on the side with children finger painting. Overall, it’s a wonderful new library.
There were so many people there, it was hard to move around. It was a good turnout. It was a pleasure to see the public so enthusiastic over a new library. I’m glad my brother invited me over to attend the grand opening. I wish the library success with its mission to serve the public and inspire everyone to read and learn.
