Love of the Library

I've been a bookworm all my life. It's impossible for me to drive by the library without stopping in to see if there are any good, new books. Even if I'm already reading 2 or 3 books, it's still impossible to resist the temptation. For the past few weeks I've been trying, to no avail, to finish a biography of Adlai Stevenson, because I keep jealously checking out more books. Today at the library, a patron's cell phone rang with a very loud musical tone, and I couldn't help uttering the librarian's old favorite phrase: "Sh-h-h-h!"

There's nothing like the printed word, and I wouldn't trade books for videos any day.
