This is National Library Week and I wanted to share a story about Meggie (me!) going to Story Time. The library is one of my favorite places and it always will be.
Story Time at the Library
Story Time was starting soon and Meggie walked to the library with her older sister. When they went inside she tried to be as quiet as possible, but her penny loafers went clackety-clack on the wooden floor. She said “Shhh” to her shoes, hoping they would stop being so noisy.
The children’s librarian let everyone know when Story Time was about to begin. Once they were seated the librarian said, “Sit quietly and if you have a question please raise your hand.” When they listened to a story about a rabbit Meggie raised her hand and asked, “Can rabbits really talk like the one in Alice in Wonderland?”
After Story Time Meggie loved looking at books and always wanted to take home more than she could carry. Her sister would check the books out on her library card. Meggie asked, “How old do I have to be to get my own card?” The checkout person said, “You can get a card when you are six years old.” Would that ever happen? But still, it was so much fun carrying books home to keep for a while and read over and over. To Meggie, reading and Story Time were wonderful adventures.

I’m the same about libraries being a favorite place. I remember getting my first card when I was a kid, and doing the summer reading thing where you’d get stickers for each book you completed. 🙂

I always liked summer reading programs too – getting a prize for reading seemed just perfect!

Hi Meg! When I was in primary school and my little sister was still too young to go, she would ask me practically every day I came home, “Jenny, did you bring me a liberry book?” 🙂

That sounds very familiar (love the pronunciation)… 🙂 I have two older sisters and I was always asking them to walk me to the library!

I LOVE libraries. Albert Einstein says it best: “The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”

I have such fond memories of visiting the library when I was a kid. My mom actually found my old library card a few weeks ago.
