Our small library

Began as a single shelf of books

For students to freely borrow

What they please

And so great was the need

That one book became more

And a shelf became a cabinet and then several

And one student borrow became many demanding

Basic equality of lending privileges

Such that there were more members of the library

Than books owned by the library

But in such a manner are important lessons learned

And in such a way are new bridges built

Between the past and the future

And in this humble kind of beginning

Is the seed for a new world

Without repression

A world without distortion

Without the need

For Big Brother's help
