StoryCorps Shorts: The Temple of Knowledge
Special | 2m 47sVideo has Closed Captions
A story for anyone who’s ever dreamt of spending a night in a library.
Ronald Clark’s father was custodian of a branch of the New York Public Library at a time when caretakers, along with their families, lived in the buildings. With his daughter, Jamilah, Ronald remembers literally growing up in a library, creeping down to the stacks in the middle of the night when curiosity gripped him. A story for anyone who’s ever dreamt of having unrestricted access to books.
