(2021·武昌区高三调研考试)

I grew up in libraries，or at least it feels that way.I went there several times

a week with my mother when I was young.Those visits were fantastic.The library might

have been the first place where I was ever given autonomy(自主权).In the library，I could have anything I wanted.And on the ride back to home，my mom and I would talk 3 about the order in which we were going to read our books，a solemn conversation in

which we planned how to pace ourselves through this charming period until the books

were due.

When I left for college，one of the many ways I differentiated myself from my

mom was that I was wild about owning books.All I know is that I lost my appreciation

of the slow pace of making my way through a library and of having books on borrowed

time.If my mother ever mentioned to me that she was on the waiting list for some

books at the library，I got annoyed and asked why she didn't just buy it.

But in 2011，one of my son's school assignments was to interview someone who

worked for the city.He said he wanted to interview a librarian.As my son and I drove

to meet the librarian，I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity，a recollection

of the journey of the parent and child on their way to the library.I had taken this

trip so many times before，but at that moment I turned my thought on its head，and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.

As I walked into the library，nothing had changed—the sense of gentle，steady

busyness，like a pot of water on a rolling boil(沸点)，was just the same.In the

library，time is dammed up—not just stopped but saved.I knew what hooked me was

the shock of familiarity I felt—the way it revealed my childhood，my relationship

with my mom，my love of books.However，as I was rediscovering those memories，my

mother was losing all of hers.The writer Amadou Hampâté Ba once said that in Africa，whenever an old man dies，it is as though a library were burning down.But if you

can take something from his or her internal collection and share it，it takes on

a life of its own.
