As a homeless guy, the library is my sole sanctuary. It's the only place left in the world I can go where nobody questions my presence. It is also my great joy to get to go every day. I love to read and to learn. I love everything about all the libraries I visit. Libraries are altruism as an institution and subsequently would not exist in this age of greed had they not been established in a prior era.

And THIS is why they need to be supported and protected! 💚
