Comments

The Spirit Of A Library Elizabeth Dietzel, of the Cranston high School Library Circle

Upon the hearth the fire crackles;

And students, freed from textbook shackles.

Embark for lands of fame and glory

With well-known books of song and story.

Across the walls the firelight gleams

And falls upon the shelves of dreams,

All wrapp’d in covers red and blue-

Great dreams of authors old and new.

A library should with firelight glow;

It holds the greatest truths men know,

For youth has need of warmth and light,

To keep its life flame burning bright.
