Congrats to the Bermuda Library! My love for reading began at an early age and the encouragement I received from the ladies at the library when I was young led to my very first summer job, at the Children’s Library back in 1970!! Thank you to the following women, Florence Maxwell, Grace Rawlins, Joan Brown and Mrs Nash you were great inspirations. My love for reading continues only now I read most of my books electronically. Here’s to another 175 years of reading!

Happy Birthday, Bermuda National Library!
I remember the first book report I did, when the Youth Library was over on Woodbourne Avenue! I spent many an hour in the Church Street and Par-la-Ville libraries as a youth, and (surprise, surprise!) I take my boys to the library every weekend now.
Reading is a life long habit. Thank you to all the librarians who have enabled and continue to enable that habit!
Seen recently on the internet… “Librarians are the generals on the war against ignorance.” Fight the good fight!

The most intelligent persons in the world is not the persons who knows a lot but the persons who knows where they can find it out.
