A.

The speaker fondly recalls simple, comforting details—Mrs. Long, the library, books and music—which creates a nostalgic, uncomplicated view of the time and place she grew up in. The other choices contradict the poem’s tone and specifics: the speaker remembers pleasant moments (so B is wrong), the library and librarian are presented positively (so C is wrong), and the poem treats listening to jazz as part of a rich childhood rather than boring (so D is wrong).
