Goals!! I've been to the library twice already this week to return books finished and to request extra time for books I renewed and still didn't have time to finish. My librarians are so amazing. I ask for 2 or 3 extra days and they give me a week :-)
Goals:Finish at least 5 of the 7 books I’m currently reading AND read as many of my library books as I can before they need to be renewed.
