Dear Library,

You are my home. No doubt about it, I grew up within you walls and I have always felt comfortable here.  Over the years I have spent less time within your physical walls, but I will never leave you behind.

You have greatly expanded my world.

The thousands of books I have rented, read every detail, and returned late have shaped my childhood - have defined my love of reading - and have opened up the world for me.

The hundreds of CD's I have asked for (because honestly, without me, your music library would be totally lacking), have taken home, and listened to until every song was stuck in my head has allowed me to grow and find my own musical adventures - pushing me to look for new artists every chance I get all while reaching back into the past and pulling forth old classics.

I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

So when people ask me my favorite website, I totally nerd out and say the Library's...

Why wouldn't I? It is the only place where I can access almost anything (and if you don't have it, I can request it as a hard copy please :)

I know you are an institution, so you technically never read this - but this goes out to all those libraries, all those librarians (especially Sky), and all those 'library materials'.

Heartfelt from the book stacks,

J ❤

P.S.

Happy National Book Lovers Day
