"I was 8 years old when I started using a public library.
Some of my most vivid memories of my childhood
were visiting the library, checking out favorite books
and sitting for hours curled up in a chair and reading!
It still is one of my favorite places to go."

Postal Particulars
Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was an American pbet most known for his
work in a book of poems called “Leaves of Grass” which started as . a
small book of twelve poems and revised many times over a 40 year pe-'
riod until the last version had over 400. However, what most people
do not know about Whitman was that he regularly visited wounded sol­
diers and penned letters for them during the Civil War. Recently one
such letter (one of three to be known in existence) was found in Ciyil
War pension files at the Washington, DC based archives.
The newly discovered letter, dated January 21,1866 reads in part:; “I
am mustejed out of the service but am not «at present well enough to
come home. I hope you will try to write back as soon.” It ends with the
postscript: “Written by Walt Whitman, a friend.”
What a rare find!
