Ashok, this is a beautifully written memoir that took me and put me right into that library with you. Bless that librarian for having the psychological understanding of a young boy and helpiing you find joy in reading. We had no books in my house when I was growing up, but every Friday my mother took me to a tiny library on the corner of a street in the Bronx, New York. I loved it instantly and always brought home six books that took me to other worlds. Little by little, when I had an allowance at eleven, I saved money and started buying book. The first book I bought was "The Wonderful Wizard of OZ."
Many thanks! And look, you taught in and headed a school, have written and shared more than 25 chapters of The Lollopaloozas already. It's so inspiring!
