A SCENIC SUNDAY post WAGNALLS MEMORIAL LIBRARY IN THE VILLAGE OF LITHOPOLIS,OHIO
Near Lancaster, Ohio is the village of Lithopolis (Litho) & (Polis) or village of stone so says their web site.
SO A LITTLE “STONE” MUSIC
“It's only a ROOM with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks.”
“It's a jet on which I soar
to lands that exist no more.”
“Or a key with which I find
answers to questions crowding my mind.”
“Building my habit of learning and growing,
asking and researching till I reach knowing.”
“Here, I've been a mermaid and an elf
I've even learned to be more myself.”
“I think that I shall never see
a place that's been more useful to me. With encouraging kind friends with wit
Who tell me to dream big and never quit.It's only a room with shelves and books,
but it's far more magical than it looks.”
POEM
MY LIBRARY

Behind Wagnalls Memorial Library is the ravine. This is where Lithopolis Freestone is quarried.
A subject for another post. Does anyone want to visit an antique store?

Did you ever think, Joe, that you could build a career designing websites for tourist places?
