Describe Hall's childhood local library, the "yellow palace." What were its features and/or barriers? Where was it located within her community?

The yellow palace was Hall's local library. It was located downtown surrounded by the police station and the neighborhood jail. All points of entry were covered by anti-theft bars. There were only two small reading areas inside- one for adults, and one for children. It was called the yellow palace because the inside was painted a yellowish color, that seemed to change in different sunlights. Even though it was no haven, Hall loved the yellow palace, as did the rest of the community.
