“Without question, one of my
favorite booxs is Klee Wyck, writ-
ten by Emily Carr. Her relationship
with nature and the native people
of British Columbia is truly
fascinating. | have yet to read a
baok which so succinctly explains
what life was like at the turn of the
century. It is, in a word, brilliant.

“It goes without saying that the
library is the best place to search
for information, or just a great
bnok to read, whatever the sub-
ject.’’

“My wife gave me a book for
my birthday and | told her | didn’t
need it — | already had one. It's a
book on hobbies —- How to Stop
Raising Rabbits.

“Actually, we have so few
books in our house, if the TV is
broken we have to TALK to each
other. But | have a friend who has
a book. It’s in the fifth printing —
the first four were blurred. By the

5; Way, you know, don’t you, that a

book is like television — it can
reach rnillions of people who, for-
tunately, can’t reach you.

“Seriously, ihougn, my son
Gregory spent a lot of time doing
research at the West Van Library
this summer. tie’s in his last year
at university in Toronto, studying
economics but taking a securities
course on the side. Incidentally,
he told me about a wonderful
book, How to be Happy Without
Money — it cost $20."

“As a little girl 1 read Anne of
Green Gables over and over —
and cried every time. Last year my
husband and | visited her home on
Prince Edward tsland and brought
the book there. I’m going to give it
to my great-niece.

“But a book that has imnressed
me recently is West With the
Night, by Beryl Markham. Her
superb use of the English lan-
guage, her tremendous ability to
create images, and her inspiring
life, had made this a book I’ve
been recommending to ali my
friends. Hemingway himself said
of Markham: ‘She can write rings
around all of us who consider
ourselves writers’*’

“My first year at university ¢
was far from home. No Mom to
bake butter tarts and iron my
shirts, nobody around tc make me
feel loved and protected.

‘In desperation 1 headed for
the library and found there, ali
the familiar things — the books,
the long tables and stacks, even 2
librarian who looked almost exact-
ly like the librarian back home.
Tnat’s where | spent most of my
weekends that first fall.

“Even today, if I'm in a strarge
city on a Friday night without a
date and | don’t want to go sit in a
bar, \'ll head for the library and
somehow I'm no longer alone. It
feels O.K.”
