Light pierces a dark and stormy night in Glen Rock
Linked in/Neat stuff: Hoke House/Snyder’s Pretzels/Buddy Bench
On a recent dark and stormy night, this illuminated building welcomed people passing through Glen Rock. This is the Arthur Hufnagel Public Library offering a welcome bright site and warm refuge against the elements. Not to get overly metaphysical here, but the light goes beyond what a warm room will do for the body. The brightness also goes to knowledge and understanding, all the good stuff that a library brings to the minds of community members. So Glen Rock’s library offered a warmth to body and mind on this recent night – and has done so for years.
