Last Friday was the first time all year that I been to the local library. What brought me back to the library was the box of books I donated. When I walked up to the desk with a huge box, the librarian said with a smile, "This isn't the post office." I thought that was a cute joke. She was pleased to receive the donation.
Besides dropping off the donated books, I needed something to read. I mentioned last week giving up on a book after only reading a chapter. I looked in the young adult section first and nothing caught my eye. Then I headed upstairs to the younger children's books looking for Harry Potter. I found the shelf where the Harry Potter books where and they were cleaned out. The only Harry Potter book left on the shelf was book 4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. That doesn't do me any good when you want to read the series from the beginning. So I went back downstairs to my original love: biographies.
I found several books quickly. The books I put in my library bag where about my favorite people to read about: Jackie Kennedy, Princess Diana and my new favorite Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. I checked out only five books. They are due back on August 25. I'm sure I'll finish them in plenty of time.
