After my new glasses came in - post cataract surgery - I went from the eye glasses store directly to the library. I browsed to my heart's content and checked out four or five books. I am thinking of another quote about libraries being one of the most democratic places in the world by Doris Lessing, I think. I am listening to The Library Book. The story is great but I'd recommend the hard copy over audio. I'm not loving the narrator.

(I also shop physical books for fun). Our library is pretty good for a small town library and they have a great sale two times a year. The local university also has great book sales that we try to attend.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252685705241032079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-34953323823737295442019-01-15T15:18:02.779-05:002019-01-15T15:18:02.779-05:00Yay for libraries!Yay for libraries!Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02428803651280506435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-53669382263416450362019-01-15T10:49:18.246-05:002019-01-15T10:49:18.246-05:00You're the second person to recommend The Libr...You're the second person to recommend The Library Book, so it must be good.

I just can't explain that special feeling of anticipation & wonder I get whenever I walk into a library.

Just as you do, I use my library and enjoy walking in and looking around, checking out books, videos, music and much, much more. Go, LA teachers!

She covers the history of libraries and librarians, especially in the US. And there's a lot of different aspects of how libraries work covered. I've been glued to it in every spare minute the past 2 days.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226371437929271405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141954207305878743.post-90232528145587767202019-01-15T08:13:48.744-05:002019-01-15T08:13:48.744-05:00Go LA!
