Every so often there's a moment that reminds of why we do what we do and why we love working in public libraries. Yesterday I had one of those moments that you treasure. I've been stopping in to catch a little of the various Piccolo Spoleto Festival events held by the Children's Department here at Main. Wednesday it was a group called Dream Merchants Reggae, a band of children and teens who play reggae. I'm a sucker for children performing and a big advocate of using the library as a venue for these events. It's important, not only to give children a place to perform, but for other children to see what they themselves can do. Plus, it's usually great fun. And that was the case yesterday. What a talented group and what a moment of happiness and joy. Great music, little children dancing in the aisles, smiles on faces--a true treat.
