For this summer your Erie County Public Library released butterflies that grew and metamorphized at
Blasco! They were released on July 3rd to enjoy their freedom in their new beautiful selves! It is an
entirely appropriate endeavor for your Erie County Public Library to nurture caterpillars in their protected chrysalis as the library is a cocoon of sorts for patrons. Every person can safely navigate the library’s expansive stacks of books, services and information. Just like sunshine and flowers nourish the butterfly, our library cultivates and nurtures minds with endless opportunities for each of us to form our own nurturing chrysalis of knowledge. It is the hub of personal growth, peace, and improvement and has been the Erie’s cocoon of sorts for over 125 years. It continues to be an invaluable community treasure and asset. Every visit to the library is a simple yet powerful opportunity to grow in yourself. We love our public library, and we thank them for the gift of freedom and knowledge they provide to our Gem City on the Great Lake of Erie, PA.
“’Just living is not enough,’ said the butterfly, ‘one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.’”
~Hans Christian Anderson
