My son Micah and I have been patrons of Himmel Park Library his entire lifetime – nine and a half years! The first five years of his life, Himmel was the center of our universe. If we were not checking out zillions of pictures books, we were attending weekly story times, talking with the incredible staff at Himmel about book recommendations and life in general, frequenting the Lego and Chess Club, and chatting with friends in the children’s section.I remember the times when Micah entertained himself long enough (playing with the hand sanitizer machine and making xerox copies) to give me a precious few moments to look for books that did not rhyme!I now work at the public library, and I have the great pleasure of giving storytimes! My son no longer plays with the hand sanitizer machine, and he can use the online catalog and reserve system like a librarian. But to this day, what he still enjoys most, is walking up to the desk at Himmel, talking with the friendly staff, checking out his books, and experiencing that most human of connections - kindness.
