I LOVE MY LIBRARY

Submitted by Clara M. [1] on Fri, 08/06/2010 - 10:08am

I cannot imagine my life without the library. Mom always tooks us when we were children. I naturally took my own children. Now I work at the library. What a nice place to work. But, really, it's all about the books. It's about the joy of reading. It's about the people you meet and the places you go in a book. There is always one more book to read. The best part is, IT'S FREE. I found a great site for those of you who love the library as much as I do, ilovemylibrary.org [2]. They have a wonderful page where you can calculate the value of your library experience [3]. Everyone is looking for a bargain these days. You get the most bang for your bucks at the library.
