Right now, someone may be reading this who lost their job yesterday. Or someone who was hurt so badly by a person they trusted that they can’t see a way ahead. At 2 a.m., when they can’t tell anyone, this library is open for them.

It keeps going because someone else — someone having a slightly better day — quietly stands beside them. Your small gift carries the next book to a stranger who may need it more than anything.
