Mel probably would have laughed at the idea that he was an activist, but his job of connecting books with readers\u2014and readers with books\u2014to open worlds up to us was as revolutionary an act as any that a five-year-old child could have imagined. Mel brought that bookmobile and my own world to life. He helped my mother inspire in me a lifelong love of reading, learning, and exploring the world. And he became a cherished friend\u2014one I continued to visit whenever I went back to my hometown during a college break or, years later, to be with my family in that mid-sized Central California Valley city during holidays.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5569\" src=\"https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png?w=660\" sizes=\"(max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png 660w, https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png?w=300 300w\" alt=\"\" width=\"660\" height=\"467\" data-attachment-id=\"5569\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/05\/the-lankes-corollaries-librarians-learning-activism-and-the-communities-they-nurture\/lankes-faithful_radical2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png\" data-orig-size=\"660,467\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"lankes-faithful_radical2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/buildingcreativebridges.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/01\/lankes-faithful_radical2.png?w=450\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><p>&#8220;I think of Mel, his role as a lifelong-learning advocate, and all he brought to me through a friendship that eventually extended far beyond the walls of that tiny, miraculous vehicle again as I read scholar-speaker-writer-educator-advocate <a href=\"https:\/\/davidlankes.org\/about-r-david-lankes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">R.
