when jo was a little girl, i started to think of the library as jo's candy store. she could peruse those shelves and take home as much as she wanted…for free! jo now has a dream job at the library, and so we still end up there most days.
our whole tribe keeps a steady supply of choice reading material pouring in and out of our house. shelves are constantly combed. new books that come into the world and look enticing get put on hold and delivered to our chosen library. movie nights are easily supplied with a pile of choices to go with our popcorn. road trips call out for stacks of audio books and page turning stacks beside.

i am so grateful for a robust library system! what a gift! …and interlibrary loan is often possible for the titles not supplied by our own network (it's free too!).
we have become increasingly able to think of the library as our extremely big bookshelf. we don't need to own too many books…maybe just the true favorites. it's taken a lot of letting go, both of our possessions and of our desire to possess. that big bookshelf is still our candy store…and we're happy to share!
love,
jane
