"Blogging Circle of Friends " April 24th, 2024.PROMPT: Write about a library, or libraries of your childhood. Ah, the local library of my childhood. It was my second home, my sanctuary. I would stroll there. Occasionally, I pedaled my bike there. I could and did spend hours there lost in exploring the banks of shelves groaning under the weight of books. Sometimes, I actually curled up in one of the armchairs, but most often I sat cross-legged on the floor comforted by the shade, the shadows of books waiting for me to select them. The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Black Beauty, Call of the Wild, Wind in the Willows, Charlotte's Web, Anything and everything Dr. Seuss, I devoured them all. I remember being in awe that I was permitted, no, entrusted to borrow books. I treated each one as the treasure it was to me. Having my very own library card made me feel special, too. At one time I considered the position of librarian to be a coveted, revered one. Imagine being surrounded by books all the time. Heaven!   |
