Libraries

I love libraries. I don't really know why, but I am fully capable of spending 48 hours in a library. Actually, I want to be trapped in one over night. Its probably because I love the smell of books, but theres something about being surrounded by knowledge and information-- and having the power to know it all. I learned to ride a bike without training wheels early and on my own time. I wanted to be able to ride my bike to the Gardiner library (where I first participated in story time) whenever I wanted. I would take out a new book and walk across the street to my favorite stream and be able to return the book and take a new one out in the same day. Elting Memorial Library on the other hand serves an entirely different purpose. Its actually one of my favorite places to go with my boyfriend. He loves reading as much as I do so once we each find something to sit down with we find a good corner read, occasionally sharing something aloud and holding hands the entire time. Cheesy, but its definitely one of the reasons I love libraries. And finally, the school Library. Ask anyone who has seen my locker, I love free book day. Sometimes it gets a little out of control. The book shelves in my room are stocked with reference books; atlas, encyclopedia, french-english dictionary etc, and the free book carts at the library make it so easy to love being bored at my house. They also, incidentally make wonderful last-minute gifts. Theres usually something for everyone just hope they didn't just clean out the mathematics section.
