The library was truly where my love of reading began.

 I remember how my father and I would sit in the picture book section of the Bloomfield Public Library and browse the titles on the stacks. We would pick out a number of books to read both there and at home. It was always the highlight of my week and something I very much looked forward to. Little wonder I worked at a library through high school, became a tutor in college, and now teach English at an Essex County Public School. The library was truly where my love of reading began. – Stephanie, Rockaway
