Today is #NationalLibraryWorkersDay  When I was a kid I was usually in 1 of 3 places: on my dad’s set, deep in the woods, or at the library (and ok, maybe a little at school as well). I have so many memories of going to my local library in Greenwich, CT after school each day.  I could walk there from the school campus, and there was a small cafeteria downstairs that made the most delicious turkey sandwiches and brownies (which is basically my only sustenance when I was a kid). This was in the late 80s and early 90s, those pre-internet days.  So I spent all that time (now spent browsing the web) perusing the stacks, leafing through books, quizzing librarians, and crouching down in a corner to assess each book on whether it warranted checking out or not .  Reading was difficult for me as a youngster.  But, in 3rd grade, I fell in love with the library when I had to spend a week there researching my 1st official research paper about cheetahs.  At the conclusion of the week, I turned in my paper that  Friday morning and still went to the library that afternoon - this time for fun.  I strongly suspect if it weren't for the library I wouldn’t have become such a reader (by 4th grade I was often reading an entire Christopher Pike or R.L.

Perhaps that’s strange, but books feel like the ultimate luxury to me.  I can part with most things, but it is painful to let go of a book.
