When I was in 8th grade, my teacher took the kids from our one-room, country school to the Odell Public Library. I was so amazed at all the stacks of books, and thought to myself, “How does anyone choose one book to read?”
My teacher handed me my first library card, with the number 818, and said I could use it to check out two books every two weeks. My first books were Anne of Green Gables and The Black Stallion.
I was overwhelmed! These first books took me away into new lands with new people!
As author JK Rowling said, “Something very magical happens when you read a good book.”
Visit Odell Public Library; it is a magical place.
But it requires your support for its “Fund Our Floor” campaign, to update the outdated flooring. Our community needs Odell Public Library to continue to excite, teach, and inspire us all, no matter [our] age.
