Welcome to
"The Land of Dreams"
Enter Here...
by Roger Robbins
The library of my youth was a simple brick building, set back from the street, small and self-effacing. Yet, to me, it was a magic door to The Land of Dreams.
It was here F. Scott Fitzgerald introduced me to Jay Gatsby.
When your days are too frantic and the here-and-now is too much, slip through the library portal into The Land of Dreams and lose yourself in a great adventure in a world of your own making.
