we need poetry because at a low point in my teens I came across the line “let the day be time enough to mourn / the shipwreck of my ill-adventur’d youth” in an old poem, and just the knowledge that someone else felt lost and adrift as a young person helped save me.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit! ❤️📚
