      Oh, that book quote is perfect; I completely agree.

      With all of the bad news about libraries these days, I was happy to see some good news for a change. I am not one of those people who believe that the internet can replace a library.

      Have a good weekend. 🙂

      I adore that quote and it is so true! thanks for the shout-out. That was such a fun post to write. I am glad libraries are doing well. I would love to get paid for sharing my passion for books and will check out the careers 🙂

      I’m glad libraries are still popular. I spent so much time at the library exploring books when I was a kid. I need to look at some of those lists–especially the fantasy authors. Great post as always!
