come on [Music]
Reggie is the chief morale officer for the Georgetown Public Library especially
the staff but he comes in early enough that he can go around meet and greet him
ow I just have to say come on let's go to the library and he I thought that bad
he says let's go read Jane I basically we are here probably six of the seven
days of the week my husband at first the first time he came in library with me he
said this is not a library I play by and he said a coffee shop I said yep they
serve some good you know some wonderful wraps here and then every time I'd
something else a second let me get that at the library he said libraries not
supposed to have that I said Jim whatever you want I think now we just
probably say what is this social services I could come here and spend
eight hours a day almost and Jim never complained
I'll now forget he passed away on the 13th of May and I
came back to the library the first time and I walked through that door and they
hugged me the library became my grief counselor they helped me through a lot
of hard day's hard weeks this is pretty special to me
donated in memory of Jim rock by Rosie and Regina Rock every time our daughter
comes home from Brooklyn you know we have to come and sit on Daddy's bench I
donated some money to the library and I thought they were just gonna put the
bench on it I never realized that they were gonna put the plaque it's not the
building that makes it but it is it's the people the director the staff the
volunteers the patrons that come here it's those people that makes this so
vibrant my daughter keeps talking about she lives in Brooklyn she said I want
someplace with good transportation and it's warm and she starts rattling off
and I said when you find utopia let me know well I found utopia at the library
