We grew up without much money, but a high value on education and learning. I have found memories of spending hours in the library with my family. Some of the best times of my life!

I'm an assistant librarian in an elementary school and all I can say is, I LOVE MY JOB! The best day of the week is any day a shipment of new books arrive. It's like Christmas morning opening up the boxes to see what is inside and the wonderful smell of new books.

I have always loved going to libraries, so to work in one, well, it just doesn't get any better!

I rate this book a 4.

It was really well written and I loved the glossary at the end so I could follow the culture throughout the book.
I was very intrigued with the traditions that were in India during the 1970's. It was interesting. I learned a lot but was distressed by the ending. I was hoping somehow the lovers would find a way to be together.
However, this is not a fairy tale. This book could have been true and she sacrificed her own happiness for her sister. That is real love right there. It was an excellent book.

We used to call our school librarian 'The Steam Train'because she'd walk through the middle of the library going, 'Shh shh shh shh shh.' Until one day some smarty-pants made the sound of a steam whistle. She went ... well, off the rails.

Since your blog is all about books then let me just say my absolute favorite "library book" is: Delilah Darling Is in the Library by Jeanne Willis... this book is a darling and pretty much describes our trips to the library!

We have one of the best librarians in our community. Our library has won awards for the best small library in the country. Darlene Miller is the best. We moved to this community nine years ago, and she was the most welcoming. She runs many activities for all ages in our community. As a teacher if I need something special for my classroom, and go to her and she puts something together for ve.
She is the best.

We went to the library every week in every small town I grew up in. My mom volunteered at the library and we explored and read endlessly. One library had just been redone and everything was so new-they had bean bag chairs in the children's zone! Long live librarians!

I remember lying on the floor at a university library while my aunt completed her teaching degree (the first in our family to attend college). I was around 8 years old and spellbound by all the books. Since then, libraries have always held a magical charm over me.

My mother made sure we went to the library every week while we were growing up and I treasure those memories.

I will never forget (because I still experience it) that feeling when you walk into a library and get so excited to find a great new book!

Now, with a son of my own, it is my personal mission to make sure he has the same experiences.
