It has been a great pleasure
To be here this evening
And to hear all the things
That have been said about
The libraries in the district
And general
And the librarians
Without whom the libraries
Would be of little use
I am afraid
But as I sat here
I fear that I have thought
Of a good deal about the fact
That there are so many places in
The United States that have
No libraries and no way of
Getting books.
