It was a rainy day in September of 1988 that started my love of reading. We had our special classes; gym,art, music, and library. We would sit in a circle on a carpet while the librarian would read a story.  Library was always my favorite.  There are so many tales i remember being told as a kid that has stuck with me all these years later.  

As I grew up the library became a safe haven or my happy place. The smell of the ink and paper is as calming to me as my Grandma's cooking. Beauty and the Beast became my favorite story all because of the library. I wanted my own personal one, for most of my life. All these years and a fantastic husband later, I have my own personal library.
