Do you like libraries (public or private) and have you ever visited one?
I've spent vast quantities of my life in libraries reading, studying, and doing research.
ReplyDeleteDebra: I could say the thing except instead of libraries, it's schools.

Haven't been to library in awhile
ReplyDeleteChristine: I don't know if you're missing out or not but I guess it depends on the library.
DeleteThank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day.
I love libraries and worked in one for 20 years.
ReplyDeleteLive and Learn: Twenty years at a library? You must have some fun stories to tell.

When I was little I was at our town library every week, now I have to catch a bus to get to one, so I rarely go. I have my kindle..
ReplyDeleteRiver: Some place are just too far to go. If there aren't any public transportation, I probably wouldn't have gone anywhere.

I love libraries. When I was a child, Tuesday was the best day. That's when Mom came early to get us, and we went to the library. I could have five books.
ReplyDeleteNowadays our libraries are turning into "culture centres". Books get steadily fewer and sorted after age-groups and themes, so that you are never surprised by books you did not look for. 3D printers, playgrounds and computer cubicles take over more and more space ... I have begun collecting second hand books to make my own library crammed with old, good-smelling and diverse books. Ordered after children/grown-up and then the title only for surprises along the shelves.
Charlotte: Going to the library as a kid is probably more fun than as an adult. I guess advance in technology does change libraries. But some libraries have really useful things for people who can't afford them, like computers and such.
DeleteI like your the idea of a private library. Surprise titles - sounds fun.
