National Friends of Libraries Week

Since 2005, the American Library Association has promoted National Friends of Library Week to recognize the dedication of friends groups across the nation.

I didn't know until this morning that we are nearly at the end of National Friends of Libraries Week. This sounds like such a great organization. I love libraries and feel strange about not having a library card for one of the first times in my life. The reason is that I am reading through the bins of books that came to me as a gift. I do hope to finish up those books in the next couple months. After that I will be heading to my nearest library. It is the best and most economical way to keep up with the latest books. When property taxes are paid a portion always goes to the library and I really support this. A well read citizen is a treasure for society. I really believe that. Those who are unread are afraid of what may be discovered in a book and generally have very narrow and limited and fearful views of life. Sometimes I pity them but mostly I just want them to start reading. Okay off the soapbox now.

When was the last time you were in a library? For me it has been too long but I plan to fix that.

Back with more again soon. 
Take care and stay cozy!
