There is no better word to describe the feeling that the library gives me than BLISS. I am not certain who initiated the concept of a library, but I am forever indebted to that individual! I decided recently to read the biography of Andrew Carnegie, because he is considered the second richest man in U.S. history (after John Rockefeller) and gave a considerable share of his fortune to the establishment of libraries across the United States, United Kingdom and other English speaking countries. Even the library in my mother’s hometown of Ishpeming, Michigan is called the Carnegie Public Library! Quite a legacy.
But I just adore how my chidrens’ faces light up when we visit the library. It is a special day indeed that includes a jaunt to our favorite book nook.
