Because I Said So: Nothing Like a Good Book

Nothing Like a Good Book

Libraries are awesome. I love going in by myself or with the kids to find something that sparks my interest. I love that the kids have favorite authors and I love that they enjoy non-fiction. Libraries are a fantastic resource, a wonderful place to be alone and think and can also be fun and inspiring. Tomorrow I am going in to pull a random book from a random shelf and read it, no matter what it is. I hope it isn't boring! This week I am grateful for my library!

This is one of the kids' favorites! Love Roald Dahl.

Jourdan said...: Seriously? Compared to the Fort Vancouver Regional library system, Utah libraries suck! Not to mention, how do you find a peaceful moment in a library with children running wild and pulling everything/anything off the shelf and making a [very loud] scene.

hmm... maybe it's just my boys. I only WISH I could love the library.

But I do love that book!; July 15, 2009 at 12:04 PM
