Today, my iPad.
As a kid, my World Wide Web?
Creston Library!
When I say the the Creston Branch Library, I mean the one in the old OLD KENT BANK building.
Were more books ever crammed into a small place? It’s aisle’s went back and around and sideways and at angles. I LOVED this place. I think I carried my first Temporary card (which allowed me, as a six year old, to check out 2 books) in my wallet for 40 years.
Everything and anything you needed to know was in their somewhere and the librarians knew how to find it.
I got to work for the Grand Rapids Public Library in the early ’90s and being paid to answer bizarre questions about local history and anything else was the most satisfying job I have ever had.
