Growing up in the small town of Nahant, I loved my local library and went almost every day. My local librarians always made me feel safe, welcome, and at home. As an adult living at home during the Covid pandemic and facing unemployment upon finishing my graduate degree, my WiFi crashed right before a big virtual job interview. In a panic, I went to the library. They set me up in a private room, helped me get settled, and wished me luck. Libraries like the Nahant Public Library are a lifeline for children and for their communities. I love the Nahant Public Library!
