My family lived about a mile from the Bertram Woods Library. Throughout my childhood, my mother drove me there several times a week.

Our visits were never __1__enough for me. I loved wandering around the__2__scanning the spines(Êé¼¹)of the books until something happened to__3__my eye.

I might have spent the rest of my life__4__libraries the way I viewed, say, the amusement park I went to as a kid. But then the__5__feeling came back into my life__6__. One day after we moved to Los Angeles in 2011, my son wanted to interview a__7__for his school assignment. So we went to the__8__library.

As we drove over to meet the librarian, I__9__a memory of this similar journey in my past — another parent and child on their way to the library. The__10__didn’t look anything like the Bertram Woods, but when we__11__inside, a shock of recognition__12__me. Decades had passed, but I really felt as if I had returned to that time and place, walking into the library with my mother. __13__had changed. There was the same soft sound of pencil on paper, and the murmuring of people__14__at the tables in the center of the room. The wooden checkout counters, the librarians’ desks, the bulletin board, were all the same.

It wasn’t that time__15__in the library. It was as if it had been captured here, or collected. A library, for me, is a gathering pool of stories and of the people who come to find them.
