I love books. Their smell, their covers.... as a matter of fact there are people whose entire careers depend on designing those covers. Oh, how I love browsing through a "real" library and not a 'virtual' one. I could spend hours there. Just for the record, I am no nerd. Actually not even close. But I think libraries are real cool places.
Every city we move to the first thing I do is get a library card. Free books, I mean you can't beat 'FREE'! I know internet has lots of free stuff too, but it's not the same. It does not have the personal touch. Internet has a non-living search engine, compared to a hardworking, passionate librarian....
Lately libraries are closing down, librarians are losing jobs and counties are cutting down on their budgets for libraries. I hope by the time the next generation grows up, libraries are not extinct! That will be a shame. A real big one. One day I would like to take my children and/or grandchildren and teach them how to look for a book in a shelf!
I hope libraries will be forever and to show my support I shall issue a book from my local library right away and maybe donate some old ones!
