my happy little library

so i never was one to go to the library much. not that i don't love the fact that there are libraries or that i don't like to read, but i was usually more content to either buy books i wanted or borrow them from friends. perhaps i am just lazy. but i can no longer keep a large collection of books here in the tiny apartment. and while i have and love my old timey kindle, i have recently gotten into going to the library and borrowing books just for an outings sake. there is this little branch library that is so near where i live, it's ridiculous. i can ride my bike there. and i plan to do so often this summer.

because i just plain like this little library. it's not very big. and it's not very fancy. so it's not overwhelming. and the people there are the nicest library people, i've ever encountered. and even though it's small and they don't have everything, they are connected with the main branch downtown- so in a matter of a day or so, they can get you most anything you want.

a friend recently remarked to me that it really doesn't take much to make me happy. she said, "you're really content with just the small things in the world and with almost nothing, aren't you?" and i think she's right. for the most part, i really am these days. and one of the "small things" that really pleases me is this little library.
