“My parents used to park us kids at the public library in downtown Honolulu every Saturday. They'd leave us there at 8 A.M. and pick us up at 4 P.M. - so between those hours, you'd better find something to do! I sat upstairs in the picture room and went through opera, ballet, and theater books. I loved the photographs of people wearing elaborate makeup and costumes - they really pulled at me inside. I was in that library every week for years, until I was about 13. I had a rich interior life, because I didn't have much of a social life.” PeopleYearsBookKidsUsedSocialParentHoursRoomsRichWeekPicksTheaterLibraryPhotographSatParksMakeupBalletOperaSaturdayInteriorsCostumesSocial LifeDowntownUpstairsPublic LibraryHonolulu Author:Bette Midler
