Am I dating myself or does anyone else remember the ad campaign for reading that had a bunch of little kids chanting "at the library"... but pronounced li-ber-eee. I've been singing that song a lot lately as I visit my local library to pick up books, movies, books on tape and CDs. This is a new habit for me as I used to visit my local mega book store. The booming economy had spawned a proliferation of Barnes and Noble stores that sport comfy couches and coffee shops. I always visited to purchase a wanted or needed book because I could afford to. (and it always smelled so good in the store..ahhh). Who needed the library??? It was the same with movies. If I wanted a movie, I just purchased it at Target or even at my local grocery store... But now, I refrain from buying when I can get it for free. This summer was filled with movies that I was too busy to see at an earlier time in my life (when I was busy being a workaholic).
I've even gotten time to curl up with a book before drifting off to sleep. So if you too are missing the smell of your local mega book store, then go visit your local li-ber-eee and put on a pot of coffee or herbal tea. You can even bake your own tea biscuits and relax on your own comfy couch. Ahhhh.
