College Library Poem

The College of the Redwoods Library

By Terri Bonow Librarian

In the library at the Community College of the Redwoods

I do my librarian dance feeling connected and needed

 

As an observant and hardworking reference librarian

 At the Library known as the Learning Resource Center

 

I am happy and so very awed to work in such an institution

Of thought, explorations, that support research and learning

 

What brought me here?  I continually ask

 My experience, adventures, luck or is it a cosmic test?

 

My fortune exists because of hard work, needing to learn, to discern

Seeing the reasons, so many thoughts- it’s how we all advance

 

Literature, music, math, science, the arts are such expressions

Of the human soul searching for meaning and true occupations

 

In these halls of thought, full of reflections and repose

The library is always a place to keep me and others on their toes

 

In the library at the Community College of the Redwoods

I do my librarian dance: it’s a place of peace, where to go to grow
