Free books!

Tonight I went to the library.

Just walking through one aisle, I saw books I'd used for presentations/reports, books I heard about on TV and read, books I'd discussed... 

It was like walking through old friends. 
Old friends who are always there for you. 
Old friends that smell like books.

One reason I love the library is that it's always been important to my life.  In my family, as soon as you could sign your library card, you could have your own.  It was a big deal at age 4/5. :-)


The librarians were wonderful!  My favorite librarian, Miss Linda always knew what I liked and spent time with me to suggest new books and taught me to make origami - which inspired me to read all of their kids origami books.

But Dewey is the kicker.
I absolutely love The Dewey Decimal System, there is something so comforting about knowing that books about coffee are always in the 641.1 section

Tonight I checked out most of the 385 section, a book on time management and one of decluttering your life.  M.M. You will truly understand the way these come together in my life (once you Google what the heck is in the 385s).

Every time I go to the library I use the same method.  I start in new non-fiction to find which areas look interesting.  If I pick up a book from the 745.1s I visit that area next. 
It's the easiest way to browse all of Dewey in a few minutes. 
The only section I always browse is biographies.  I can't get enough of true life stories. 



What is your favorite section?  Your favorite library memory?
