I'm feeling grateful today for libraries. I went to my city library on my way home from work last night and now I enter the long weekend with books aplenty. They say you get more satisfaction out of planning a trip, than going away on it. It might be the same with having a stack of books by the bed. I'm only halfway through my current book, but it's going quite quickly. Now I know that as soon as I'm done I can start another one, without resorting to something from our limited shelf. I see the small tower of library books sitting there and wonder what they're going to be about, if they're going to be good and what I will learn from each one. I won't spend the whole weekend reading, but I could if I wanted to!
