L is for Library (Week)

This entire week of April has been National Library Week, the 8th through the 14th.

So here's my questions: when was the last time you were in a library?

For a lot of writers, we can't live without them: they are our eternal reference, even though

we have the internet. Most libaries have that slightly dusty, papery, hard-bound goodness

to them, so that every book you pick up feels like you've found gold.

Libraries are probably more economical than ever, as plunking down $15 for a book (and more)

isn't as viable as it used to be.

Whatever your excuse is for not visiting, try to make it into one -- even if just for old times sake.

Check out a book, something that makes you love to read, be it a mystery, thriller or memoir.

I grew up living about three blocks away from a library. My sisters and I were there all

the time. So much information, so much to read, so much to pour over and ponder.

I absolutely love libraries. And if you love to read or write, you really should too.
