I read something this morning that warmed my heart and I have to share: "Libraries are experiencing a renewal in popularity."
"We certainly have seen nationwide, particularly in these tougher times, libraries become even more popular. Everybody is seeing large percentage increases in their use of books and obviously the computers as well," Longino said.
They're building a brand new library, and it's going to be a big one too, in Biloxi, Mississippi! Katrina killed the old one even though I had never been to it (a little too far out of my library branch) but they're planning to make the new one a central part of the community... as it should be!
There is nothing quite like a bookstore is there? When I lived in Georgia there was a used bookstore I would visit every month that had a wonderful selection of books (not to mention DVDs, Cds, records, comic books, etc.) and even after I moved to Mississippi, I would go by every time I visited. Unfortunately, I’ve never found a store quite like that one since around here and it closed last year.
