Feeling of importance. It was quiet, staid, and laden with suggestion of serious business. <BR/><BR/>Speaking of stern librarian, aren't they all stern with commanding presence?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-58760942805925100882008-08-22T07:04:00.000-04:002008-08-22T07:04:00.000-04:00I love reading stories like this - the library was...I love reading stories like this - the library was hugely important to me as a child. Luckily my entire family were readers and we collected books as much as we borrowed, but I always felt so important, so responsible - I suppose, so adult - bringing home a stack of books from the library.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-25387554810364774272008-08-22T03:04:00.000-04:002008-08-22T03:04:00.000-04:00The county library's bookmobile came to our small ...The county library's bookmobile came to our small town elementary school every other Thursday back in the '50s. I don't have the words to describe the pride of having my very own library card, the wonder of seeing all those books, and the joy of checking out six books -- that was the limit -- and being able to take them home with me, almost as though they were mine. <BR/><BR/>Thursday was also the day hamburgers were served in the school cafeteria and the only day of the week we could have chocolate milk. And it was the day we had spelling bees to practice for the Friday test. I loved spelling bees.<BR/><BR/>But that bookmobile -- that was truly something.<BR/><BR/>O frabjous day -- Callooh!

These days it's all loud chattering, especially from people on their mobiles.<BR/><BR/>I had a phase of reading all the fairytale books I could find, then all the cowboy books which made me want to live in America and be a cowgirl! Oh and Agatha Christie books - I've just started to read those again.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5578764475698868093.post-13677095116504179742008-08-21T10:00:00.000-04:002008-08-21T10:00:00.000-04:00Good for you (reaching your goal of reading all of...Good for you (reaching your goal of reading all of those books).<BR/><BR/>Cell phones in a library.
