Library Loot #24

Things I love about my library:
1. They catch books that we own that have mysteriously *cough* ended up in the library pile and get them back to me.
2. They commiserate with A, whose experiencing a bit of a loss because we got rid of our cats.
3. They chat with me about the books in my pile…
4. I can generally get everything I want, within reason, of course.
5. They’re just so danged nice.

I love my library. 🙂

Story of a Girl, by Sara Zarr
Echoes From the Dead, by Johan Theorin

The roundup is either at Reading Adventures or A Striped Armchair.

*Ones that M eventually read.
**Picture books we really liked.

  1. I wish I loved my library. Their fantasy section sucks and that is my genre of choice.

    So, when are you going to read Fire? I am waiting to see what you think… No spoilers, of course. 🙂

  3. I'm not much of a fan of my library. They do have a good selection but it seems to operate on a paradox, which is that it's huge but doesn't have many books. It's mostly floorspace and computers. Damn computers.

    Although, what they do have is good. So can't knock it and plus, it's better than the old library which was TINY like living room size tiny.

  5. I can't say that I chat a lot with my librarians, but on the whole I am pretty happy with the library. It isn't often that I can't get the books that I want to read.

    Good luck with your ARC and Challenge Month.
