There is something so special about them and libraries.........
Did you ever see that film Matilda??
That was me when I was a child, but without the little red wagon.
I still remember when I a child and I walked over to Arleta library with my maternal grandmother. I was just delighted at ALL the books and they were ALL there for me.
I asked the librarian how many I could have at one time. I forget now how
many and was blown away by the number.
I began to browse the many shelves and it was at that point my grandmother cautioned me, "Just remember, you will have to carry them all home."
Home was about three miles........
I never lost my love of libraries and my sister is same to this day. I wish you could see their 'library' (actually a downstairs bedroom no doubt)
It is crammed with books on three of the walls in shelves which are ceiling to floor
The floor is littered with stacks of them also.........He volunteers at Tidal Wave which is the used book outlet for Multnomah County Library system, so he brings home various books he discovers from time to time adding to the collection.
In addition they are regulars at the library, just like I am.
