National Library Week


I don't know how I missed it, but this week (April 13-19) is National Library Week. This is truly cause for celebration, particularly with the price of books - and even e-books - being what it is ... how grand is it that you can read just about any book you want, any time, for free*?

Here are a few thoughts and links in honor of libraries and the librarians who operate them ...

You may remember this link from yesterday's post - 24 Awesome Librarian Tattoos.

Nine reasons why librarians are awesome ...




It's a library! Turn off that cell phone, put away the iPod, and be quiet so that others can read ...


A library doesn't have to be huge, but it can always be beautiful ...




The ultimate wireless device ...


And your final thought for this celebration of National Library Week ...


Have a good day. Get thee to a library**. More thoughts tomorrow.

* Well, not totally free, because you're paying for it with your taxes ... but considering some of the other things our tax dollars are used for, I think it's a good investment.

  1. It is a pleasure to go to a good library, especially when there's no specific book to be sought. The surprise book that it a delight to read makes the visit worthwhile.
