Words can change lives – whether on paper, on screen, or spoken down a phone line.
A library has an abundance of words – and an abundance of opportunities to change a life.
After a long break, Laurel Moffatt returns with season 4 of Small Wonders!
This is the first of a two-part series on the power of words.
People read for different reasons.
For some people, reading is work. For others, it’s a hobby.
Sometimes, though, reading can cause something within us to shift; we might go from wanting to read to needing to read. Our lives can suddenly – unexpectedly – become intertwined with the words on the page – and our experiences become things we might feel the need to share with authors we’ve never met.
The words we put down – whether on paper, on screen, or even spoken down the phone line – have immense power.
Words can connect – and divide – and can touch other lives; and we can find words – life-changing words – in libraries.
