| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the author's personal journey as a library patron, highlighting the transformative role of libraries, particularly the New York Public Library (NYPL), in supporting research and learning. The author reflects on their previous underutilization of library resources during college and emphasizes the importance of library staff in facilitating access to information and providing guidance. Through their research on cabaret artist Judith Ren-Lay, the author discovers the wealth of resources available at the NYPL and the supportive environment fostered by library staff, ultimately advocating for a greater appreciation of libraries and their personnel in the community.
