I was walking in to work this morning when a woman in a blue minivan stopped in front of me.
“Excuse me,” she said. “Where is the library?”
I paused. We were at the corner of Hargett Street and Person Street and there isn’t a library for miles. I gave her convoluted directions to Cameron Village Regional Library but somehow doubted she would keep it all straight.
It sure would be nice if Raleigh had a showplace library downtown. It not like this area has a bunch of highly-educated, intelligent citizenry or anything.
There isn’t a showcase library downtown, but there is this.
