Lessons from Shawshank

It’s one of the great storylines in one of the all-time great movies: the building of the Brooks Hatlen Memorial Library in Shawshank Prison.

Shawshank, of course, is the penitentiary featured in The Shawshank Redemption, director Frank Darabont’s Golden Globe-winning film that starred Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins as inmates who become best friends. Robbins plays Andy Dufresne, an accountant convicted — wrongly — of killing his wife and her lover.
