A library is
A room or building
Full of books
And people
Borrowing and reading books
The service is libre
Free
You are at liberty
To borrow and read books
From librarians
Liberal people
Tolerant of those
Who borrow and read books
They are there to liberate
The imagination
The thoughts
The words
Contained in the books
Libertarian librarians
I wrote this poem because I love libraries and spend a couple of hours every week as a volunteer leading Bounce and Rhyme sessions for babies and toddlers (and their parents), and and hour every month discussing books with a group of youngsters with a wide range of ages.
