內容簡介

內容簡介 這則「感人至深」且振奮人心的真實故事講述了一個社區在圖書館火災後團結起來，拯救館藏的故事，及時提醒我們圖書館和書籍在我們社區中扮演的重要角色。圖書館是故事的守護者，是記憶的守護者，也是希望的守護者。但當守護者受到威脅時，又會發生什麼事？1966年，紐約猶太神學院圖書館發生火災，消防員迅速趕到現場救援。但到當天結束時，數千冊書籍化為灰燼，倖存的書籍也岌岌可危。整個社區都陷入了悲痛之中。那些被水浸泡的書頁中那些珍貴的故事是否會永遠消失？或者，來自社區各個角落、不同背景的人們能否攜手合作，成為故事的守護者？這則故事敘述有力、插圖精美，為我們展現如何齊心協力，保護圖書館及其中的書籍，使其代代相傳。Three starred reviews!In this “poignant” (Booklist, starred review) and uplifting true story of community, a neighborhood comes together in the wake of a library fire to save the stories within, offering a timely reminder of the essential role libraries and books play in our communities.A library is a keeper of stories. A keeper of memories. A keeper of hope. But what happens when that keeper is threatened?When a fire broke out at New York’s Jewish Theological Seminary library in 1966, firefighters raced to the rescue. But by the end of the day, thousands of books had been turned to ashes and the ones that remained were on the brink of ruin. The community was devastated. Would the priceless stories in those waterlogged pages be lost forever? Or could helping hands from every background and corner of the neighborhood come together to become keepers of stories, too?This powerfully told and lushly illustrated true story is a welcome example of how we all can come together to keep libraries and the books within safe for generations to come.
