The doors open
like butterfly wings
signaling change
rebirth
new life emerging from the inside out
renovation, variation, transformation, growth
this space repainted in butterfly colors
repurposed in a delicate dance
between the practical and the fanciful
where learning can take flight, ideas can soar
San Ramon Library
new again, now again
built upon
community passion and spirit
emerging strong and beautiful
open and alive
with wonder
(poem written in honor of the grand reopening of the San Ramon Library, April 15, 2017)
“The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.” Einstein
