A billionaire developer has been trying to tear my library to the ground.
I’m a librarian, and I’ve spent the last year trying to destroy him.
Last week, he bought the building my library is in and I thought it was over.
I showed up at his office ready to fight and told him he’d have to drag me out of that building himself.
He didn’t say anything, just slid a document across his desk, and when I picked it up it wasn’t a demolition permit.
It was the deed to the building, with my name on it.
I looked at him and asked, ‘Why would you do this?’
He went quiet for a long time, then said,
‘Years ago that place saved me. So let me save you.’
