Like today, we had a very long and deep conversation about which chocolate is the best. Godiva won with them.

I loved being in the tall stacks of books reshelving. I also have a BA in history and spent endless hours in the Wisconsin Historical Society Library doing "research" or just being lost.

But I'll always remember their reading contests, how if I marked the shiny paper with a pen deeply enough, it would look like a marker, and how the competition aspect made me love reading all the more. I'm very competitive. One time, our library had a sleep over, that was amazing! There were lots of kids there, and games, and they took a seperate room for movies, and pizzas, and then we all got in our sleeping bags with a good book and read until lights out. <br />That was fun. It should happen every day. :DBethany Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829932931010851406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-63882405663814789472010-04-13T02:42:59.266-04:002010-04-13T02:42:59.266-04:00We love our local librarians.

Wonderful! <br /><br />We love our library. We've been going since my children were babies and not a week goes by that one of them doesn't ask, "Can we go to the library today?"

I was even that way as a kid. When I had my own kids I took them to the library after school, and on the weekends we hit the bookstores, both new and used. As a result, my children are now huge book fans. My daughter even got her masters in library science.<br /><br />Happy trails.Swubirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009070690312312456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-9857037365738206662010-04-12T23:11:21.411-04:002010-04-12T23:11:21.411-04:00The library will always remind me of my mother.

We had a giant tub in the children's department that they'd fitted with a bunch of cushions and rugs and a giant fake lion head on one end for kids to sit in and read. It was horribly uncomfortable, but I used to sit in that godawful thing for hours squirming and reading. But it was a lion head bathtub. Who wouldn't?<br /><br />I love what you guys are doing.

We...I'm with you--I LOVED the library as a kid. We didn't have a fancy, cool one like that, but still. I grew up broke--so the library was the coolest place ever because I could go in, pick anything I wanted, and actually get to take it home. Sure--I had to give it back (which sometimes KILLED me) but it was still the greatest thrill in the world being able to pick something new, and enjoy it. I was devastated when we moved to a new town and they didn't have a real library (just one room of books in a strip mall.) My parents used to drive us over 45 minutes to take us to a better library so we could still have our books.Shannon Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08003607156860716462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-1590262677715231462010-04-12T16:57:35.197-04:002010-04-12T16:57:35.197-04:00love the book donation idea - hope you have over 5...love the book donation idea - hope you have over 50 books :) Thanks for participating!Shelli (srjohannes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17123227845032402600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-81101038093970729212010-04-12T16:54:18.761-04:002010-04-12T16:54:18.761-04:00I love libraries.
