No man is an island,/Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,/A part of the main.
If a clod b washed away by the sea [we r all less] . . .

It tolls 4 thee.

God, give us men*! A time like this demands strong minds,
great hearts, true faith & ready hands . . .
Men who possess opinions & a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie . . .
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty & in private thinking. -J.G.Holland/*[wo]men:)

Libraries are safe spaces where minds are mended, imaginations are sparked, and knowledge is the cure. 📖✨️ #BookSky
