Library article

I too grew up in Irvington and I am also in my 50s. So we must lived in Irvington around the same time. I grew up on the corner of Grove St. & Clinton Ave., my mom worked just down the street from the library at Harris Printing or Publishing. I too remember my first viist to the Irvington P.L. I walked with my mom as she went to work. It was the summer. She walked me into the lilbrary so that I could participate in the story program. She left and went to work, I walked into the library, a little unsure where to go. I saw a group of kids being read to and walked to the group. Unfortunately I arrived just a tad too late and was promptly told that I could not particiapte and that I should leave. I am now a library director. Go figure.
