A Library Parable |
Sometime in the middle of the twentieth century, a man
named William Gibson found an obscure book about a teacher named Annie Sullivan
in his local library. He was enthralled by the story and decided to write a play
about the subject. That play, "The Miracle Worker," made him rich and famous,
and is the only reason today that anybody has heard of Helen Keller.
In the mid 1960s, when he was fifteen, Michael Cunningham
checked out a copy of Mrs. Dalloway from his local library. He was the
first person who checked out the book in years. Many years later, Mrs.
Dalloway inspired him to write his novel The Hours, which won a
Pulitzer Prize, sold many thousands of copies, and was made into a film. He too
got rich and famous.
Somewhere in our library, there is a book that could give you
an idea that will make you rich and famous. The question is, "Will you read it?"
