Library Time
This was the city library that my brother grew up using. It was only open for the first couple of years of my life and then they built the brand new one. I still miss seeing the building on CA Parkway, though.
My friends and I went to the library almost every single day during our summer breaks. We were ferocious readers so we always joined the summer reading club. It was a safe, kid-friendly place when it first opened. They also had a lot of puppet shows, and children's film hour events there so my friends and I were serious regulars. Our schedule was: library in the morning, pool all afternoon, play at the park until dark, home to read our books until well after bedtime. Those were really sweet, special times.
