Micro Fiction, Colossal Ideas.
“Why are you still hanging Christmas décor? We’re almost in the middle of January!”
“This one was a child’s creation. I always hang them regardless of the season.”
“Why?”
“Maybe because I like to think of this place as more than a library; as a shelter for creativity and the doorway to magical worlds.”
The photo prompt has been given by Ted Strutz at the Friday Fictioneers hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields and the word prompt (Shelter) has been given by Denise Farley at the Girlie on the Edge.
I agree. Libraries are so much more. Well done.

What a lovely story and lovely thought. Why shouldn’t there be a doorway into Christmasland year round? The kids get it.

The library is a place for such things and I like the librarian’s belief in cultivating it at her library.
