I’ve worked at my local library for the past year and absolutely love it. Here’s a list of four things I love about my local library:
- The staff there is great. I can say this with assurance because I work there, but everyone on the staff is fantastic.
- The patrons are friendly and overall respectful.
- The thoughtful selection of materials such as books, DVDs, and music.
- The cozy atmosphere. It’s not a sprawling library, but it’s smaller and inviting, which I like.
The library has a small-town feel where people seem to know one another and run into one another. It’s a community center, and oh, you can read this other post on things I’ve learned while working at the library.
This Journey Is My Own 
I stopped going to the library for a few years, which made me very sad without realizing it. Then I moved to an apartment building right beside a mall complete with library, and I’m so thrilled! I’d forgotten what it felt like to walk into a huge room filled with books and just pick out whatever the heck I want without having to pay a dime. It’s glorious.
