Need a lift? This heartwarming library story has it covered
Libraries are a treasure that should be cherished and protected.
They offer service users – children and adults – a passport to other worlds, the opportunity to learn, and – it turns out – a chance to connect in ways that couldn’t happen in most settings.
A librarian named Mychal, who works in the Solano County Library in California, has gone viral after sharing this uplifting anecdote about children forming a fleeting bond over a Spanish book.
We think you’ll love it.

It isn’t just the libraries that are invaluable – it’s the people who run them, too.
If you don’t know this beautiful soul yet, you need to.
Mychal helps me aspire to joy.
Bless him. https://t.co/Zzdx2xTQJY— Stacked Librarian (@StckedLibrarian) August 16, 2023
