    EULOGY FOR THE OLD LIBRARY 1966-2004 (demolition in 2018) As a child I came to this spot every week to practice the religion of books. I prayed in paragraphs, worshipped in words, so many words, They echo in the halls of memory, spilling off pages, flooding floors, carving canyons in the still blooming garden of my mind. Words polished my heart, changed its color, left deposits that provided raw material to construct cathedrals. The building seemed large in 1968, packed with possibility, brimming with books. The rooms smelled fresh--a river after heavy rain-and I gulped it down, thirsted for more. Today we say goodbye to this hall of stone and glass. In its place will rise another, a phoenix from the rubble. Commonwealth of community, temple of democracy, shrine to the enduring power of words. May this continue to be a place that inspires. A place of possibility, diversity, tolerance, ideas, and of course, words, so many wicked, wacky, wondrous words. -Cynthia J. Patton

    ONCE AGAIN, WE VISIT THE LIBRARY Despite multiple trips, you cannot fathom the library’s purpose. How to explain in simple terms, how this differs from a bookstore or that coffeeshop we love with its crayons and overflowing shelves? More importantly, how do I convey what this place means-to me,your mother-with its wealth of knowledge and mythology? As always, you gravitate toward the video kiosk, and I long to tell you about the card catalog, with its narrow, wooden drawers, yellowed files, and Dewey Decimal System, the stubby pencil I’d use to transcribe the orderly numbers and letters clutched tight. Manila pockets with strings of multi-colored dates, a strange calculus of popularity and history. You will never see macrame plant hangers near the librarian’s manual check out counter or know a world without bar codes and databases. A library is a place of language and words; you think in pictures, music, and colors. Each of us an immigrant in the others’ native land. -Cynthia J. Patton
