In my impression, she was a petite woman, but I can't say for sure. After all, I was also a tiny person at that time. She did not appear in the graduation yearbook of our primary school, but in my memory, the first librarian I came into contact with was a virtuous white woman.

She wears a pair of glasses and is very kind to me, a new immigrant child. I don't remember her voice, but I still remember that every time I saw her, she would call me to her desk, smile mysteriously, and then hand me a book she helped me choose. I will read every book, and I like it very much.

On the way to study, sometimes we are lucky to meet a teacher who is also a teacher and friend. kroll is the first such teacher in my life. When I was in the second grade, she allowed me to borrow more books than the required number of books; In the third grade, I was allowed in and out of her librarian's office. She ignited my love for books. As a new immigrant at that time, I knew nothing about where I was, and I was eager to know where I was. Who am I? In the world of books, I slowly found the answer.

I found my first safe haven in kroll's library, which was the first time I felt safe in the United States. Until now, whenever I see the library, I have a happy impulse in my heart. I think the same thing as the writer Jeluis Bes. Our imaginary paradise is a place like a library, except that there are no angels in it, but there are groups of great librarians.
