I loved so much about this, Erin. I have fond childhood memories of wandering the children's section, getting my first library card, and finding a cozy corner to read in while my brothers looked for books. Even in adulthood, libraries have been a sanctuary for us; often the local library was the first place we would visit after our moves with the military. Even if it took time to make friends, we always had instant access to beloved stories. We lived within walking distance to a library when Josie was a baby, and we were there A LOT. I even worked in a library for a short time at our first duty station, one of my last jobs before having kids. Thanks for your question...it's fun to look back at some of the libraries we've visited over the years.

Happy book birthday to you and Kim!
