Random Quote: "Your library is your paradise." ~Desiderius Erasmus
... the library...
It is the best place to get work accomplished, fight the good fight of procrastination, and have books surrounding you in all of their glorious bound beauty.
*Sigh*
Yes, books are my passion. I love them. The way they smell (see my blogpost "Stop, and Smell the Books"), the way the pages crinkle as you turn them, the smoothness of each page, the startling revelation that is the cover in all its designed glory... I could go on. Perhaps I should stop while I'm ahead.
However, books are like little passports into other worlds. You are there with the characters as they conduct their adventures in a way that is often soul changing.
So, the library is my happy place. Not only is it a quiet place to gather information and stalk books and authors without reprecussions, but it is also the greatest place to go and work. On any novel, short story, or blogpost, this is the get-a-way resort. I can stay for hours and type to my heart's content. It is the most beautiful time in the world.
And the librarians are such nice people (see my blogpost "Nice People")! They are friendly and willing to help you search for resources. They obviously love books too. So you know they are the best people to be around! It is the perfect place to settle down and read or work for as long as you need.
Do libraries get awards? Because I think they should. They should be nominated for "Best Resting Place" or "Most Awesome Place to Work" or "Best Author's Haven" or "Best Home Away from Home" or some such award. Where can I sign them up for any of these awards or more?
We need to get on this people! The library is one of God's gifts to humanity. Feel free to scamper there whenever you can.
Now, I must continue working on my next short story. I'm at the perfect place for it.
Does anyone else have a favorite happy place?
~love and hugs!! :)
