This past year I have "rediscovered" the Library. And two of my good friends from church (Terry and Kate) recommended goodreads.com to me. What an amazing website! Not to mention Terry works for one of the local branch libraries. I have learned so much from her and all the little helpful hints about using the library's resources. I am truly blessed. :)
I just love all the things the local libraries do in the community, like story-time for children, book clubs for children, teens, and adults. They host events too.
I guess one of the reasons why I love the library so much is that it can contain a wealth of knowledge and almost limitless possibilities of what I can learn and read. The feeling reminds me of the Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks movie "You've Got Mail" because it's just so sweet and innocent. It reminds me of my younger days when everything was black and white and perfect.
Another great thing about libraries is that it is ALOT cheaper to check-out a book at a library or a used bookstore like McKays. Granted, some books are just nice to keep in the house. PLUS, you can rent MOVIES! Movies, people! I love watching old movies which I will blog about a few of my faves.
One thing I look forward to is, I hope we can buy a house close to a library - preferrably within walking distance - so that I/we can take the kids there for story time or to just check out books. It's nice having that extracurricular activity. Especially it being educational!
So, go check-out your local library and events and enjoy!
