I was so thrilled!<BR/><BR/>I used to take our kids to the Lancaster Library once a month in the summer time, and they would loan twelve books each. One time I forgot to take all those books back, and when I finally did, my bill was 70 - some bucks!! That was back in the 80's, and a $70 fine was absolutely devastating!Jean https://www.blogger.com/profile/05093389869089614815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-53242502026617206852008-04-14T16:47:00.000-04:002008-04-14T16:47:00.000-04:00I love the library.

I've continued the tradition, and as soon as my son & daughter were old enough I took them to the library for their first library cards. My son doesn't read very much but my daughter loves to read.Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14805881108983055910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-36197352077550669932008-04-14T16:45:00.000-04:002008-04-14T16:45:00.000-04:00My dad would like this...he was an elementary scho...My dad would like this...he was an elementary school librian for many years.<BR/>Guess my love of books is inherited :)AlaneMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378820581781820649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-10825932194867241942008-04-14T15:13:00.000-04:002008-04-14T15:13:00.000-04:00Does renting movies there count?! :-) My boys do...Does renting movies there count?! :-) My boys do love going to the library.Earenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05925637944465242002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-86226837680796160432008-04-14T14:54:00.000-04:002008-04-14T14:54:00.000-04:00We appreciate our Library and we donate books ofte...We appreciate our Library and we donate books often.

It's much easier now though as I can reserve books that I want on line and they let me know when they are returned and I can just pick them up. Of course, I always browse through the cook book section and lately I've taken to browsing the computer section as well. Last time we were there we got some good chapter books for Jono too ! The other day he sat with his nose in one of those books for ages ! I love seeing that !!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703184796850969105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2947806128800299878.post-71418932030112701842008-04-13T23:08:00.000-04:002008-04-13T23:08:00.000-04:00I've always loved books and have always wanted to ...I've always loved books and have always wanted to write one.
