The Library Guy
The Talbot County Free Library is a very special place. Within its walls, from every walk of life, we come together as equals to study, to learn and advance as our founding fathers dreamed we would, to pursue our personal and very private notions of happiness. The following articles (which The Star Democrat has been kind enough to allow us to reprint here) describe some of the perfectly ordinary, perfectly extraordinary things it has been my privilege to see and experience as an employee of the Talbot County Free Library.
