The senior citizen was excited to
be back in her hometown after decades.
The library would be the second
place she would visit after reaching home!
The library was special as she
had set it up with books from her personal collection.
It had prompted others to
contribute.

As she entered the premises,
she saw some familiar and new books.
But, the library wore a
desolate look.
There was no one…
She sat down on the same wooden
chair that she had gifted.
Suddenly, she heard-
"Welcome, Madam!"
She saw young and old familiar
smiling faces.
It was celebration time!
