Thomas, 19, has been visiting the library since he
was 4. He recently co-hosted the 7th Annual Talent Show in the children's library. For him, the library is a place to “hang out and relax. I have lots of
good memories here.”
One of his earliest library memories is receiving
his first t-shirt for completing the annual Summer Reading Program, a tradition
the library still upholds.
What book does this seasoned library veteran
suggest for kids?
The
Scrambled States of America by Laurie Keller.
“All of the states in America switch places for a
day,” Thomas explained. “And see what each others' lives are like.”
He’s also a huge fan of the book’s author, Laurie
Keller. “She’s a really great author. All of her books are fun and she also
illustrates her own books.”
Thomas has also attended a ton of library programs
over his 15 year history at the library. He said his favorite program was
playing the Wii with his fellow teens. “I’m a huge fan of the Wii and Wii U,” Thomas
said.
For Thomas, the library is much more than just a
place for books. “Don’t be afraid to tell the librarians anything,” he said. “Because
they’re here to help you.”
