Q Gift 7 Library Books

In elementary school, I was the child who spent most of my recess time in the library. I loved everything about the library. How quiet it was. The shelves with its books in every size and color. The library had dark brown shelves from ceiling to floor and a wall of windows that faced the playground. And with so many authors to choose from, even though I looked alone, I had lots of friends.
Doctor Seuss was my language tutor with all of the twists and turns in his rhymes that are still with me. The book Petunia. I love you, taught me about friendship and honesty. And Aesops Fables helped me understand so many values in life. The Dr. Zim books opened my mind to the detailed workings of space, zoology, rocks and minerals, the universe, anything that crawled, crept, or flew in my backyard or playground.
And so in quarantine, I have rediscovered the joy of finding books in the online library. I’ve set up search scenarios all of my favorite authors put together documents to keep me in order of reading when I hit a series. I have broadened my sci-fi authors and experimented with new romantic ideas. And so, I would say quarantine has given me the extra time to read and explore beyond my walls and spend time in new places and with new people.
