Another interesting note about Victory Hill School is that I was an angel in the Christmas nativity pageant. I still remember making my halo from wire and silver tinsel garland. Public school. Times have changed.
After thinking more about my experiences with libraries and librarians that I shared in my previous post, I remembered an earlier library experience I have not thought about for many years.
