You’re never alone when you’re reading a book.

Reading is dreaming with open eyes

I love books. As a child I wanted to be a librarian. I dreamed of sitting in a bookstore all day. Clearly I watched too much beauty and the beast. As I grew libraries didn’t hold the fascination they did as a child; maybe it was that I could now see over and through the books or that the Internet was just a click away? It makes me sad to think that there are kids out there who never have or will look through a card catalogue to find their book. Story time on the beanbags in the children’s section will be unheard of. Feeling like you own the world because you got your own library card. Won’t have to walk over to the shelves and hunt for the book that was organized incorrectly because one little decimal faded making that 8 look like a 3. The kids that won’t ever know the smell of a book being opened off the shelf for the first time in a long time.
