Ok, I realize that this is not perhaps new information for most people, Lol.
But it seems new to me every time I go. You see, I'm somewhat of an anomaly.
I am a book addict but am surprised every time I go to the library. I don't know why. I mean, I actually do not know why I go in, start looking for something and suddenly I am in AWE. Books! Books everywhere! To my neighbor: Did you know the library has books? To the lady behind me in line: Have you seen what's at the library? To my husband: Honey, you will NEVER believe what I found!
So what's up with my library issue? I don't know, I didn't frequent the library as a youth and I think that as a book loving Mom, I always am at the library with or for the KIDS. But when J and I just go and I am at my leisure, my mind and thoughts can wander along with my selections. This was an untapped resource for me as a child due to upbringing....so now I find it as pleasurable as can be.
J and I like to take long rides for "alone" time. We also really enjoy it when we have to run to the library to split up and do a mad search for a pile of books I need. I think that is when I realize, HEY! These people have BOOKS!!!
I think that we will have to turn this into another "alone" time when we can go without kids and get lost amongst the books that WE like. Date time at the library. I like to know he is there thumbing through art books and cookbooks whilst I am stacking up pile upon pile of well, everything. Lol
Hey people, go over to the library on your own sometime...did you know they have BOOKS?

You know what else the library has--DVDs. Lots of them. And--I love the online system. You go online, search for and request books and have them sent to your closest library and then send your kid in to pick them up. It's a great system!
THere. I fixed it for you! :0)
