Welcome back to another conversation over Anne Bogel's delightful ode to all things bookish, I'd Rather Be Reading!Our last session featured musings that ranged from your love for Anne of Green Gables to Narnia to the Bobbsey Twins ... from the book of John to a wealth of favorite bios and best reads for teens.
Such good stuff, you guys! If you missed this session, it's right here.
Today's theme? Libraries! Since childhood, one of my favorite public places where young and old can quickly feel safe and at home. I can't wait to hear about your own experiences ...

'You check out more library books than you can carry. You check out more library books than can fit in your tote bag. You forget your tote bag. You visit the library in rain that is coming down so hard your tote bag is powerless against it. You don't live next door to the library anymore, so you don't pick up your reserves every day. You don't pick up your reserves for a week, and your stack is enormous. You pile the stack in your passenger seat, and your car yells at you because it thinks you have an unbuckled passenger.'
- Chapter 10, page 66
'As deadlines go, library due dates aren't particularly frightening, but they still impose a clarifying framework on my stack of books to be read - especially if the book in question is an in-demand title I've waited months for. The library will deliver those requested titles to me, free of charge, but not without a price. Once they arrive, no matter when they come in, I have only three weeks to read them. If I've been waiting months for a popular book, I need to read it immediately or lose my chance.'
