Set high on a hill, you could see for miles up and down the coast. it was quiet and lovely, and the librarian knew my name.<br /><br />I don't go to the library here. They have nothing that interests me. Truly. And if I wanted something from another library I have to pay for it. They don't have inter-library loan for free.Anne Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816355522284492131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-23199208671333709402013-07-23T00:42:41.903-05:002013-07-23T00:42:41.903-05:00I love getting a stack of graphic novels from the ...I love getting a stack of graphic novels from the library ... sometimes I'll go there in my lunch hour just to read a graphic novel for a bit.

Unfortunately, growing up in a small town meant that I read all the books with a horse on the binding. That's when I picked up my first book with a rocket on the binding. I've never looked back (so western in space would be my next step!)<br />Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767762370997304308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-38753789456574036462013-07-22T19:17:24.976-05:002013-07-22T19:17:24.976-05:00Your post brought back very fine memories!

(I live in a tiny house). Also, would I want to be able to loan the book - then I buy multiple copies!<br /><br />I am just finishing up my grad school experience, but I managed to get through it only buying 2 books. The rest came from the library, which saved tons in costs.<br /><br />Welcome to the club!Carrie Mesrobianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16305292109198218306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-82857239459485026252013-07-22T07:47:41.778-05:002013-07-22T07:47:41.778-05:00I love libraries because you can find books no lon...I love libraries because you can find books no longer in print.<br />Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-77994880533141458152013-07-22T07:45:24.683-05:002013-07-22T07:45:24.683-05:00I'm lucky to read a book a week.I'm lucky to read a book a week.
