Do you use your library?

How exciting Paul

At the library today I was spoilt for choice, two Robert McFarlane books, a couple of other interesting reads too. Ended up getting Rising Ground: A Search for the Spirit of Place and to read to my daughter Buckle and Squash and the Land of the Giants

Had a count over my library books the other day, and found out I had 58. I've been so filled up with everything else lately, so I have not had the time to read, but clearly I have kept picking up books!

Due vacation and me beeing away from home for like 5 weeks, I am not gonna bring books with me, (well, maybe one or 2 for the trip!), and rather just borrow books from the local library in norway... I now gotta deliver them all! Down to 42 now xs

We have one of these in my village, and we did in our last village too!

I was in my lovely library just today, borrowed a book my 10 year old daughter is desperate to read.

Also re-borrowed an audio book that was broken, they located me a new copy in 3 days flat from another branch. Great service. And no charge.

My husband would love that, Tytti. Will you be trying it?

[Tytti]

No, it's a bit too far for me.

that would have been awesome if instead of songs it was books and people could listen in on you reading a story.

[Paul]

Would agree with you there Jason. Belated Happy birthday for Monday too

I doubt there would be much need for that. There are already reading dogs (and other animals) to whom children can read when they are learning how. And others probably could ask from a old people's home (or somewhere), if they could visit and read there. I don't see why anyone would use a place like that.
