If I won a billion dollars,
I’d build a thousand libraries
in a thousand communities,
each standing as a beacon
enlightened by the flicker
of a thousand reading lamps,
illuminating hope
and imagination.
Stories would echo off the walls,
inviting residents
to warm up to new ideas
and kindle flames of familiarity.
Centered in cities
or quiet rural landscapes,
each library would beat
the rhythm
of its residents,
embracing diversity,
creating connection,
ensuring shared moments,
creating magic.
