What's on your nightstand?

Its Raise -a-Reader Day!

This is my nightstand right now (although I tidied it up and took away the magazines.) And this is 'just' the nightstand which doesn't include the overflowing bookcases or the stacks of books everywhere that won't fit in the bookcases.

I ♥ books and always have! And some magazines too. Never been a fan of fiction, but I love learning, reading and holding, and flipping through the pages of a book. Love the computer too of course, but I certainly hope that books (and libraries) never go out of style. They sure won't at this house.

The library is one of my favourite haunts.

I love them. Big ones, little ones, dingy ones, brand new ones. Just give me a library and I'm happy.

I spend oodles of time at them and feel real comfort.

I also like the borrowing aspect. You can have anything you like. For free! I don't watch much in the way of movies, but did you know that the library even has new releases? For free?

They also have all sorts of children's programs/baby and me programs etc.

Again...

*the word is free.

The convenience, the tranquility and the atmosphere are only 3 huge reasons to revisit your local library. I have been a lover of libraries for a very long time and don't see that ever changing.♥
