  • PaperWork: One book pulled from a row of books and my life changed

    By Lonny Cain| Shaw Local Verified Elburn, Illinois. Third grade. If I’m getting sentimental about libraries, I must start there, when I borrowed my first book. I have few surviving memories of grade school, most of them involving the fenced-in playground area with a pole I climbed, my friend Ray and the tree stump he carved into a small engineering project, and a neighboring house where we were pretty sure a witch lived. But I do remember one part of my classroom.

Each page is dedicated to a calendar date. This morning, I read today’s entry for April 1.
