Book Magic

Week 11: Thing 16


I really loved this video, it reminded me of the magic of libraries. I grew up in a relatively poor family, and the library was my escape. My mother used to take us there on hot summer days, and I would walk into the cool, air conditioned library, and immediately head into the stacks. I would walk the aisles and browse the shelves and collect books as I went. I have clear, vivd memories of checking out so many books at one time, that I could barely carry them out to the car. It became our weekly ritual.

I love the music and the art work, and the books that were picked to showcase. It intrigues me that I don't I know all the books that are in the video. In my mind, my library will be a place of magic, a place of fun, safety, excitement and most of all a place that loves, loves, LOVES books!
