Whether or not people realize it Libraries and Librarians can impact our lives in ways we would never imagine. Here's one such story that was collected at HistoryBuff.com - What Kids Living in Oklahoma City Had to Say About the Bombing There:
"I was in 2nd hour block when the principle came on the intercom and said...If you are a child who's parents work downtown please come to the library at this time.' My heart was pounding. I could feel the adrenalin flowing through my body. I took one glance as my teacher, He knew. He shook his head and said, 'Take the hall pass.' I grabbed the hall pass. The only thing going through my mind was not my mom please god don't take my mom. As I walked into the library, I was almost crushed. I asked the librarian about the bombing and told her that my mom works down town. The librarian said, 'Sit here I will be back in a moment...' "
