100 Years of Library Services Celebration Poem

SIMPLE QUESTION

Ronna Leon, Benicia's Poet Laureate

"Where are you off to?"

The library.

How often I make that reply,

an answer easier

than explaining

I'm off to find adventure, mystery, explanations, stories,

answers, QUESTIONS, distraction, solace, advice.
