I remember growing up and hearing kids excitedly talk about new books they had just finished and taking weekly trips to the local public library to see what new selection was available. They’d also discuss participating in library events related to story times, puppet shows, and crafting.
I was lucky; I basically grew up in a library, as my mother has thousands and thousands of books. I’m not exaggerating, either. Every wall in our house was filled with books, so while I never needed a library card, I certainly shared the love of expanding my knowledge and imagination through the written word.
