It's National Library Week
I love libraries. Especially love my little branch library. Four library books on the floor next to the bed. Over the past year I've bought one book. It was poetry & that doesn't count because public libraries aren't good for contemporary poetry & haven't been probably since the Sixties. So o.k., there's no church rummage sales with books around here, Elizabeth Library doesn't do an annual book sale, & no used book shop, But I'd only be getting old paperback novels at those anyway.
