Gotta love the public library

When I was in college my work study was in the college library. There is something about libraries that just make them special.

Now days you can get just about anything at the library... even spend some time on a public computer and do some bloggy action.

So, how often do you visit the public library?

I love the library. I'm so jealous you had work study in the library at college, that's always been a dream job for me! I even almost went to grad school to become a librarian recently, but with the economy the way it is, was concerned about the job outlook. I take my kids to library at least once a week if not more. Yup, we're nerds.

I love the library, and (this may sound weird) I love the smell of books. I spent a lot of time in the library prior to having kids, and I now use it with my kids, especially in the summer. They, and I, view the visit as a "treat."

(btw: I told my husband when I am old and gray I want to either work part time or volunteer in a library...)

It has always been a dream of mine to work in a library. A dream I've had for as long as I can remember! I used to go to the public library twice a week to the toddler classes for my son. But, we don't have health insurance right now, so I'm keeping him away from large groups of kids. As soon as we have health insurance again, I'll take him back!

I love the library, actually get to work for one :)

It's amazing the amount of resources we (and all libraries) offer, I don't think many people are aware of all they have access to.

I used to work in the library in middle school and I liked it a lot.

Now I live right across the field from one but I only go there about once a quarter.

I think we go to the library once or twice a week. Brittany loves to play at the library. She loves exploring the toys. LOL

I don't work for the library, but my office is in the library at my college. I love it. I love being able to go downstairs and just pick up any book on any subject. Libraries rock.

Thank you so much for stopping by last week on my SITS day!

I have never stepped into a library ever since I completed high school!

I know I should go and bring my kids too... but am just too lazy :(

I'm not really a library person... rely too much on the internet for information and stuff.

Thanks for visiting my blog :D

Oh I so wanted a masters in library science. It was later in life that I discovered the magic and addictive quality of reading. Now I would be glad to go yearly. When our boys are bigger I look forward to sharing it with them.

No award for you, just a thanks for reminding me that life exists out there in the world, still.

We love the library, just don't visit it as often as we should.
